Italy/Turin

The church of San Lorenzo, one of the masterpieces of the european baroque. It was designed by Guarino Guarini and hasn't a facade because the Dukes of Savoia, that had the symbol of their power in piazza Castello, didn't want that the observer could be distracted by other elements. The dome of the church of San Lorenzo, is the only visible sign from the outside of the church.
