From the top of mount Musiné
Dominating Torino from its 1150m. (3772ft.), mount Musinè gives extraordinary views, in every direction.
High in the foreground, you can also appreciate the millenary abbey named "Sacra di San Michele", built between 983 and 987 a.d over the peak of Mount Pirchiriano (962m. - 3150ft), protected by the Benedictine Monks until 1837, when entrusted to the Rosminian Fathers. The history, the spiritual value, and the surrounding landscape inspired Umberto Eco to write "The Name of the Rose" novel and made the Sacra not just a popular destination for visitor from all over Europe, but particularly one of the symbols of the Piedmont region itself.
