The city of Turin (Italy) and the beginning of Susa valley, seen at night from the summit of Mount Rocciamelone (3,538 meters / 11,603 feet).
I've used a telephoto lens to get close to those lights, because Turin was about 55 kilometers away.

As the sun started to set on our first day in Turin we headed up to the popular viewing terrace outside the Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini church.
It proved to be a popular spot with tourists and Turin couples such as this pair sat drinking wine.

From Wikipedia : "The Mole Antonelliana is a major landmark building in Turin, Italy, named after its architect, Alessandro Antonelli. A mole in Italian is a building of monumental proportions.
Construction began in 1863, soon after Italian unification, and was completed in 1889, after the architect's death. Originally conceived of as a synagogue, it now houses the Museo Nazionale del Cinema, and is believed to be the tallest museum in the world. A representation of the building is featured on the obverse of the Italian 2 cent euro coin."

Museo dell'Automobile di Torino = MAUTO
This automobile museum opened in 1960 and is considered among the most important and ancient automobile museums of the world. It was renovated between 2007 and 2011.
The collection is insane. The Formula room with the race car grid is out of this world. They have an entire grid of original race cars chronologically ordered from modern to old. Machines driven by Schumacher, Fangio, Ascari on so on. In the same room, in a corner, Nicola Larini's Alfa 155 DTM machine with iconic Martini Racing livery.
