Turin Torino, Borgo Medievale In Valentino Park Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Designed by a group of artists and intellectuals coordinated by Alfredo d`Andrade and built to coincide with the Italian General Exhibition of 1884, the Medieval Village`s form, structure and decorations rigorously reproduce those of 15th-century buildings in Piedmont and Val d`Aosta. The `Rocca`, or castle, is open to the public with a tour itinerary in which the life and atmosphere of the era are reconstructed through special effects, including light, sound and perfume.
