Italy-Piedmont

At the center of the Mole Antonelliana, the visitor enters the grand Temple Hall, the spectacular heart of the Museum. The crystal lift located at its center takes visitors straight up to the small panoramic temple located 85 meters higher up. The Temple Hall is surrounded by small chapels dedicated to the cult of cinema, with fascinating sets illustrating some of the major themes and genres of the seventh art: animated films, cinema of the absurd, horror and fantasy, mirror films, westerns, musicals, science fiction, experimental cinema, family films, melodramas of love and death, catastrophe movies. The last two chapels are dedicated to the Italian silent film masterpiece Cabiria by Giovanni Pastrone and to Torino City of Cinema. Visitors can stretch out on the chaises longues and watch three films that are projected onto the giant screens.
