Chieri
Feb 27, 2009 by Michael from Baltimore, Maryland

Overall Rating: 10

Lesser known, not touristy.
A hike from the train station, but typical of most medieval town centers.

“Off the beaten path and out of range of the torino sprawl, this little town is well worth a stop. There are medieval frescoes in the Cathedral baptistery and few noted works in the cathedral proper. The interior was done up the 1800's but in a restrained elegant style very much in keeping with the Gothic architecture. There's an evocative town gate from the 1500's and numerous renaissance churches as well as good shopping and eating you might expect to find in a town this size. What I didn't find, I didn't miss-hordes of tourists. The views from San Giorgio, on a hill dominating the old center, are worth the climb. And a main street is pedestrians only for the afternoon passeggiata. Very gentile.”

Basilica della Consolata
Apr 11, 2007 by ornella from oshawa ont. canada

Overall Rating: 10

I like everything about the basilica Della consolation.
The gypsies begging outside the church.

“The basilica Della consulate in my opinion is the most beautiful church in Turin although small compared to some of the other churches in the city , the inside is breathtaking the paintings the marble and the woodwork are the most beautiful I have ever seen. There also is such a feeling. Of peace that comes over you when you enter the church.”
