Old Costumes

Saw these two elegantly dressed people in traditional costumes walking down via Roma, not sure what the event was.

The temperature was between 30°C and 34°C, I just couldn't understand why they were dressed so elegantly and parading down the street.

Location: Via Roma

Hot Dog

This dog perfectly illustrates what's happening in Turin. As the temperatures get hotter, even dogs would rather stay under the fountain than run around playing catch.

This dog refused to move  away from the water, he just wanted to cool off.

Location: Piazza Castello

Dog Days

 It is so hot, the temperature reaches 38 °C at 1700 hours and feels like 40 °C.

Prediction is that by Saturday the temperature will decrease when the rain comes in. 

Let's hope it is true.

Meanwhile, people are starting to strip off on the streets to fight off the heat.

Location : Piazza San Giovanni

Summer Fountain Fun

Summer, fun by the fountain at piazza Castello, an very much enjoyable activity preferred by the children who stay in town.

This kid tried to jump as high as the jet of water from the fountain

Hot Summer Sun Flowers

Sun flowers belong to summer, especially in a summer so hot......

These are the sun flowers planted in piazza Castello, an enhancement for the hot, hot summer this year.

Reading Under The Sun

This summer, not so much sun, mostly rain or cloudy, in the few days when there was a really sunny day, people took the chance to enjoy it as much as possible......

日歇.......

Very relaxing lying down to read the newspaper, but I would want to be sure the ground is really 'clean' before doing it, the part in front of the Royal Palace is where people like to walk their dogs.....

Sunday Relax

Lying on the bench, reading a book and enjoying the summer sun.....pretty dreamy...

Someone relaxing at piazza Vittorio...on a particular sunny day.
