Gas Leak

The night before at 2300 hours, one block away from where I live, major gas leak was detected in a building. The whole building was smelled of gas and an apartment on the fourth floor caught a fire and I assumed was quickly put off.

The whole area was fenced off, traffic was blocked even today.

The authority is still trying to work out where is the leak and to stop it.

It was quite a scene to look at, especially with all light off in that area.

View From Below

Back to piazzale Aldo Moro which is now an university compound with restaurants and shops.


Finally was able to get down to the level where the piece of seventeenth century wall is, surprised to see that this level has converted into sort of a hub for the university students to study.

It was pure coincidental that we passed by and was wondering if the gate to descend was opened, and someone just walked up and told us that the gate opens every working day till 8 P.M. So, we were delighted to finally able to go down below.

The most interesting aspect of this level is of course the 'big opening' where one can look up and view directly to the landmark, La Mole.

Peek

This is via Maria Vittorio, just a rather ordinary street in the center of Turin. 

A big board was placed on the building of the Egyptian Museum to cover up the on going renovation work. On the board was a face peeking onto the street.
