The first capital of the united Italy -Turin Royal Palace

Mostly people knows Rome as the only capital of Italy, but in reality the first capital of Italy was Turin. Rome was the ancient capital of the Roman Empire, after its fall and division of Italy into a small countries , unification of the state in today's shape, bagan Savoy dynasty (existing even today, overthrown due to the admission of Mussolini's rule). Savoy at first they ruled Piedmont, whose capital Turin was. There that initially was the first capital of the united Italy was located . Turin is a beautiful city, with a completely different atmosphere than most Italian cities, where begin in which it is not very pleasant atmosphere now.Turin is calm, there is no such huge number of thieves and cheats as in Rome.

Turin is visited by Italians themselves, who know the history of the city and few Japanese. Turin is also a city with the largest Egyptian museum on the European continent. Here worked for the order of Napoleon-Champolion, and here on the begining was famous Rossetta stone thanks to which the hieroglyphs were read.

From most parts of the city we can see the mountains, but it's worth visiting the Royal Palace in Turin, it's very easy to get to it from the railway station, just go straight from the exit. The palace can match its inretiors to residences like Schonbrunn, Versailles although it is no phantascic than the famous Stupinigi near the city. The rooms of the palace are the art of baroque time, in particular the green hall known as the armory that used to be a ballroom, beautiful later ballroom with white marbles.

 

A magical Chinese cabinet, or an amazing throne room. Objects in the palace are original, unchanged, we do not even have newly sewn curtains. Everything has been in perfect condition. It is sad that the palace is so little known to foreigners. Palazzo Reale was also a plan for the very popular Elisa di Rivombrosa costume series. Next station is of course the largest egyptian museum in Europe and Palazzo Carignano a huge complex that served as the 1st country's senate with its famous golden chamber. The famous Holy Shroud is kept in il Duomo Torino, nearby Palazzo Reale. When we gone stright on from il Duomo we'll find mysterious ancient bulding. It isn't castle how many people think but ancient gate to the city. It's one of the best preserved ancient roman bulding of that type.

opposite the gate actually in the substructure of Palazzo Reale, we will find the ruins of ancient Torino. The city that guarded the entrance to the peninsula from ancient times.

This beautiful fountain of malachite, was a gift from the last tsar of Russia
