Being a voluntary Guide i recommend to all Italian and foreign visitors to visit the square clearly and all buildings facing and neighbors.

Also is the central point of Turin and nearby are other opportunities not to be missed: Egyptian Museum, Museum of the Risorgimento and gilded apartments of the Princes of Carignan an absolute wonder with the birthplace of Vittorio Emanuele II
