Italia 150 years old

Stivali !

Yesterday was Saint Patrick's day, twiddly-diddly-dee ! It was also a significant day in Italy's history. Yesterday was also the 150th anniversary of Italy's unification. Torino was where it all started in 1861. The first parliamentary building of today's was Palazzo Carignano, one of my favourite buildings in Torino, fantastic baroque architecture & the inside is spectacular too.

 
Here are some other images from our stroll through the streets yesterday:
