Mole Antonelliana

Do you have 2 cent euro coint? Please check it and see the picture of one side of the coin. That picture is mole antonelliana of Torino city, or people just say Mole. The name is coming from the person who design this building. Originally, this building is dedicated for Jewish synagoga (church for Jewish) but as there was a little disagreement between Antonelliana (the designer) and Jewish group related to the design and cost of the buiding, they stop to built it. Finally, the Torino goverment continued to built it following Antonelliana and it reaches 167 meters. Since 2000, this building is dedicated for the national film museum. You can go inside but if you want to enter the museum you have to pay. The mole has a very nice shape, not round shape.

One of the intereting thing is, in one side of the (large) roof, they put the fibonacci number (a series of number which has special order) made by Italian mathematician, Fibonacci. That number will be clearly seen during night time. In the week end, the will open the Mole, and you can go to up till the small section above the roof but don't be surprise with the queue. Just imagine, my friend who stay in Torino since he was young never go up although he really wants. Why because of that. When he comes to Mole, the queue to go up is very very very long. Poor guy.
