Such a beautiful name!
The original rainbow burger, the first italian vegan burger fastfood, located in via Bertola.
Although I am not a big fan for vegan food, but their colorful burgers do look beautiful and delicious and the deco of the restaurant is pretty cool too.
Location Via Bertola, Flower Burger Fastfood

Vittorio Matteo Corcos (4 October 1859 – 8 November 1933) was an Italian painter, known for his portraits. Many of his genre works depict winsome and finely dressed young men and women, in moments of repose and recreation.

I always like it when I see people using the walking stick, it gives me a sense of trust. The man trusts the walking stick steady his steps and the stick trusts the man able to hold him tightly.
I think we all should appreciate the walk sticking more...and some of them are gorgeous!
Location : Galleria San Federico
The exhibition of David LaChapelle : Atti Divini had just finished, luckily enough we were able to visit it in time.
His works are often very colorful,vivid and often convey social messages, and not shy from nudity.
The exhibition was held in La Venaria Reale, which is about an hour away by bus from Turin.
Among the exhibited pieces were : The work he did for lavazza, with Michael jacksons, The Flood, The Last Super, The Rape Of Africa, The New Adam And Eve ...etc
Personally, I prefer the pieces which are not too 'loud', such as the 'Flood', 'Icarus' and 'Immersion' serie.
