  We visited this square to go to the Cafe San Carlo which dates from the Risorgimento period. The decor is sumptuous. Ask for a bicerin - the drink Turin is famous for - coffee chocolate and cream.  more »

  Simply put, one of the most beautiful Piazze in Italy. The art and architecture of the buildings are amazing. Rather expensive bar and cafes though.  more »
