Early Morning Views of Torino

These are early morning views of Torino, taken around 6:00 AM on a frosty Sunday morning in January. The only Turin residents we saw up and about this early were the people who partied all night until 6:30 AM, when the local Disco Night Club closed. They didn't party all night: the sun wasn't up yet.















These pictures were taken along the scenic Flume Po river going through downtown Torino. Canoeing and riding in small boats are favorite sports in Torino. However, in January fewer people are willing to get wet so early in the morning. The impressive huge building on the hill is called Church of Santa Maria del Monte, on the Monte dei Cappuccini. These magnificent views were ample reward for venturing on an early morning walk along this scenic river.
