The symbol of Turin on a perspex panel in front of the Royal Theater....a bull.
Through the panel, one can see to part of piazza Castello where there is the church, San Lorenzo.
Apparently, though, the story about the origin of the Bull, the symbol of Turin, is a different and far more recently tad.
In the Middle Ages, heraldry, is a simple method, given the multitude of illiterate, to bind to a particular symbol a person or any entity. To simplify recognition, usually, it is chosen a figure reminiscent of the name, in the case of Turin, by assonance the Taurus is a defined precisely speaking figure.

Metal gate of The Theater
Under the arcade at the entrance to the Royal Theater, the heavy, complicated designed metal gate of the entrance makes a sharp contrast with the simplicity of the curved ceiling of the arcade.
It is also one of the peaceful walk away from the ever busy, crowded via Po.
