front of the Olympic Stadium (piazzale Grande Torino),

English sculptor Tony Cragg (1949) on the occasion of the
XX Olympic Winter Games held in Turin in 2006. While
observing it, you can notice that the 90° offset of the axes
of the ellipses allows the observer to look at each column
from different points of view.
On the way back to corso IV Novembre and continuing along
corso Agnelli past the stadium, we take via Filadelfia on
the right to find the Alessandro Antonelli School on the left
(dedicated to the architect of the Mole Antonelliana). On the
blank façades of the school building in via Lanfranco, you
can admire the murals made in 2010 by Mr.Wany and in
2011 by artists of the Boc crew. The first work represents a
heart-shaped head from which the Mole Antonelliana comes
