View Points
The sculpture "View points" by Tony Cragg, placed in front of the Palaisozaki and the Olympic Stadium, in the pedestrian area of Piazza d'Armi.
"View points" is a work made in 2005, placed in the following year in front of the new Olympic Stadium for the Olympic Games in Turin.
It consists of three elliptical columns of bronze, height between 10 and 12 meters, centrifuges decomposed horizontally into sections, whose shape allows the viewer to glimpse a silhouette partly composed of profiles of human faces. The two axes of the ellipses, placed at 90 ° from each other, allowing each column to be looked at, as reflected in the title, by two different "views".
The three ellipses are thus transformed into something dynamic which is screwed to the top. The surface of the columns also plays with the idea of the point of view: by walking around, bends and cuts reveal, little by little, new profiles of faces.

Buildings along the river Dora
There are two main rivers in Turin, the river Po and the river Dora.
The Dora Riparia river, a left-hand tributary of the Po. It is 125 km (78 mi) long, with a 1,231 km² drainage basin. It originates in the Cottian Alps, close to the Col de Montgenèvre in France, where it is called the Piccola Dora. Its name becomes the Dora Riparia after the confluence with the Ripa in the Argentera Valley and the Thuras de Bousson close to Cesana.
Somehow, the scenery along the river Dora is less spectacular than the Po.
