HOLY SHROUD: In the spring of 2010, just ten years after the Exposition in the jubilee year, the Holy Shroud will once again be on display in the Cathedral of Torino starting on 10 April to 23 May.
In 2010, and for the first time, it will be possible to see the Holy Shroud following the intervention it underwent in 2002: a conservation and restoration operation during which pieces of cloth that had been burned in the Chambery fire of 1532, and the various “patches” applied by the Poor Clares, were removed, together with the Holland cloth to which the Shroud had been fastened in 1534, with the Holy Linen now placed on a new support.
During the Exposition and the period that precedes it there will also be liturgical and cultural events - appointments that will be defined by the organising committee over the coming months.
Torino is also looking forward to a visit by Pope Benedict XVI during the Exposition, with the Pope celebrating Mass in the Cathedral grounds.
TURIN's HISTORY:
The name of Turin comes from Tau, a Celtic word that means mountains. Its Italian name, Torino, translates as "little bull"; hence the coat of arms and the symbol of the city. The area was settled by the Taurini in pre-Roman times.
GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE:
Turin is located in northwest Italy. It is surrounded on the western and northern front by the Alps and on the southern front by the hills of Monferrato. Turin has a truly continental climate, with nothing to share with the rest of Italy which is famous for its comfortable Mediterranean climate. Winters are cold and dry, summers are cool in the hills and quite hot in the plains.
MAIN SIGHTS:
The best known building of the city is the MOLE ANTONELLIANA, which construction began in 1863 and today houses the NATIONAL CINEMA MUSEUM.
The PALATINE TOWERS are among the best preserved Roman remains in northern Italy.
The Cathedral of St John the Baptist houses the Shroud of Turin, an old linen cloth with an imprint of a man, which is believed by many to be the cloth that covered Jesus in his grave.
Nearby is the former ROYAL RESIDENCE: the seventeenth-century Palazzo Reale, built for Madama Reale Christine Marie of France.
The EGYPTIAN MUSEUM has the most important collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world after the Cairo Museum.
Turin has buildings of great historical and architectural interest: the SAVOY RESIDENCES. In addition to the Royal Palace (the official residence of the Savoys until 1865) there are many palaces, residences and castles in the city centre and in the surrounding towns. Turin is home to Palazzo Chiablese, the Royal Armoury, the Royal Library, Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Carignano, Villa della Regina, and the Valentino Castle.
The complex of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in Turin and in the nearby cities of Rivoli, Moncalieri, Venaria, Agliè, Racconigi, STUPINIGI, Pollenzo and Govone was declared in 1997 a World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
