It is not exactly red in color, but orangish-red, anyway, it is a gorgeous palace which dominate the view in piazza Carignano.
It is actually located between 2 piazzas, piazza Carignano and piazza Carlo Alberto.
It houses the Museum of the Risorgimento. It was a private residence of the Princes of Carignano, after whom it is named. Its rounded façade is different from other façades of the same structure.

A man recitating at piazza Carignano, with an indication that it is a 'Teatro Di Riciclo', a recycling theater.
With all theaters and cinema closed due to the Covid, this might be the only way people get to watch a theater performance.
By "recycling theater" we mean the action of an actor aimed at evoking a precise replica or a set of past replicas of a show in which he took part or in which he was a spectator: the story and the images of the show come back to life, thus, deeply contaminated by the narration of theatrical mechanisms and of everything that is attributable to the relationship between actors, spaces and audiences encountered. The "recycling" of the theater that has already been established does not intend to be a substitute for the theater itself; but rather a rarefied concentrate, an essence that sublimates its mobile immanence, its magic: "remaining elsewhere". Transfer of genres, a concrete basis for utopia.

Riders everywhere, day and night, busy delivering food to all the hungry mouths in town.
The only problem I have with them is that they ride on everywhere, including places they shouldn't be riding their vehicles and they ride fast, without much concern of the pedestrians.
Here is a less dangerous rider, he was sitting on a bench in piazza Castello, perhaps checking on new orders...

This corner at the beginning of via Roma seems to be a favourite spot for street artists. Often the artist placed himself right at the corner and got attention from people coming from and into via Roma.
From this side under the arcade, it looks as if the artist is hidden from the people crossing via Roma and ready to give a surprise once they get into the arcade.

It was a cold but sunny day, the sky was blue and the air was chilly.
The buildings at the junction of the road were quite attractive, the shadows and shade of the photo taken were a bit too bluish, somehow the photo looks better in black and white.

Just one of those night when La Mole is blue, the evening was rather quiet, on the streets were mainly the riders who deliver food to people who were too lazy to cook or get out to buy food themselves.

He is always there sitting under the arcade along via Po, looks extremely alone in winter and especially this winter.
He is just one of the many homeless sleeping under the various arcades in the town, they do their best to protect themselves from the cold and the arcades provide a certain shelter for them.
Many like him, stays at the same spot everyday, so visible and yet so invisible, as if he is part of the structure, people pass by everyday and hardly take note of his existence....
