Italy-Piedmont

The Mole is the symbol of Turin. The tower's composite, classical style contrasts with its verticalism. Until a few years ago it was the highest stone building in Europe (167.50 metres). The Mole was built in 1863 like Synagogue, then become the house of the Museo del Risorgimento, and now it's the site of the new National Cinema Museum.
