On to Turin

After Pisa, we headed to Turin. There was no tour to see the Shroud of Turin, which is not on normal display, and no one seemed to know if we could see anything. So we walked to a Cathedral, asked a few questions, and found the altar where the famed shroud is stored. The square shape above that altar is a reproduction of the face in the shroud. A wonderful find for us.

The image of the sunflowers reminds us of the beauty of northern Italy, where large fields of flowers are growing all summer for use in sunflower oil. I had no idea that would be a major cash crop.
