Turin (Italian: Torino, pronounced [toˈriːno] ( listen); Piedmontese: Turin, pronounced [tyˈɾiŋ]) is a city and major business and cultural centre in northern Italy, capital of the Piedmont region, located mainly on the left bank of the Po River and surrounded by the Alpine arch. The population of the city proper is 909,193 (November 2008) while the population of the urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 1.7 million inhabitants. The Turin metropolitan area is estimated by the OECD to have a population of 2.2 million.[2]

The city has a rich culture and history, and is known for its numerous art galleries, restaurants, churches, palaces, opera houses, piazzas, parks, gardens, theatres, libraries, museums and other venues. Turin is well known for its baroque, rococo, neo-classical, and Art Nouveau architecture. Much of the city's public squares, castles, gardens and elegant palazzi such as Palazzo Madama, were built by Sicilian architect Filippo Juvarra, who modelled these buildings on the Baroque and classical style of Versailles.[3] Examples of these French-themed edifices include the Royal Palace of Turin, the Palazzina di caccia of Stupinigi and the Basilica di Superga.

Turin is sometimes called the "cradle of Italian liberty", due to its having been the birthplace and home of notable politicians and people who contributed to the Risorgimento, such as Cavour.[4] The city currently hosts some of Italy's best universities, colleges, academies, lycea and gymnasia, such as the six-century-old University of Turin and the Turin Polytechnic. Prestigious and important museums, such as the Museo Egizio[5] and the Mole Antonelliana are also found in the city. Turin's several monuments and sights make it one of the world's top 250 tourist destinations, and the tenth most visited city in Italy in 2008.[6]

The city used to be a major European political centre, being Italy's first capital city in 1861 and being home to the House of Savoy, Italy's royal family.[7] Even though much of its political significance and importance had been lost by World War II, it became a major European crossroad for industry, commerce and trade, and currently is one of Italy's main industrial centres, being part of the famous "industrial triangle", along with Milan and Genoa. Turin is ranked third in Italy, after Rome and Milan, for economic strength.[8] With a GDP of $58 billion, Turin is the world's 78th richest city by purchasing power,[9][10] and as of 2010 has been ranked by GaWC as a Gamma- world city.[11] Turin is also home to much of the Italian automotive industry.[12][13]

Turin is well known as the home of the Shroud of Turin, the football teams Juventus F.C. and Torino F.C., the headquarters of automobile manufacturers FIAT, Lancia and Alfa Romeo, and as host of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Several International Space Station modules, such as Harmony and Columbus, were also manufactured in Turin. It was the capital of the Duchy of Savoy from 1563, then of the Kingdom of Sardinia ruled by the Royal House of Savoy and finally the first capital of the unified Italy.[14]

It is often referred to as "the Capital of the Alps". Turin is also known as "the Automobile Capital of Italy" or the Detroit of Italy; in Italy it is also called "[La] capitale Sabauda".

The University of Turin was founded as a studium in 1404, under the initiative of Prince Ludovico di Savoia. From 1427 to 1436 the seat of the university was transferred to Chieri and Savigliano. It was closed in 1536, and reestablished by Duke Emmanuel Philibert thirty years later. It started to gain its modern shape following the model of the University of Bologna, although significant development did not occur until the reforms made by Victor Amadeus II, who also created the Collegio delle Province for students not natives of Turin.

With the reforms carried out by Victor Amadeus II, the University of Turin became a new reference model for many other universities. During the 18th century, the University faced an enormous growth in faculty and endowment size, becoming a point of reference of the Italian Positivism. Notable scholars of this period include Cesare Lombroso, Carlo Forlanini and Arturo Graf.

In the 20th century, the University of Turin was one of the centers of the Italian anti-fascism. After the post-war period, the increase in the number of students and the improvement of campus structure were imposing, although losing some of its importance until a new wave of investments carried out in the end of that century. The new impulse was performed in collaboration with other national and international research centers, as well as with local organizations and the Italian Minister of Public Instruction.

By the end of the 1990s, the local campi of Alessandria, Novara and Vercelli became autonomous units under the new University of Eastern Piedmont.

Leuca | Finibus Terrae

taken in Santa Maria di Leuca, Italy

Basilica Santa Maria De Finibus Terrae
La data virtuale che ha dato inizio al culto cristiano sul promontorio japigeo nell'attuale Basilica di Leuca deve collocarsi ai tempi di San Pietro. Si tramanda che San Pietro in viaggio per Roma fece tappa a Leuca e da allora il tempio dedicato alla dea Minerva, posto sul promontorio japigeo, diventò un luogo di culto cristiano. La devozione dei fedeli verso la Madonna di Leuca ha origine antica: si parla di un grande miracolo che avrebbe salvato i pescatori il 13 aprile 365 da una burrasca. La chiesa con l'attuale struttura fortificata, fu costruita tra il 1720 ed il 1755 da monsignor Giovanni Giannelli, per resistere ai numerosi e ripetuti attacchi da parte di invasori turchi e saraceni. L'interno del Santuario è ad unica navata e sull'altare maggiore si può ammirare il dipinto della Madonna con Bambino (Madonna De Finibus Terrae) di Jacopo Palma il Giovane. Arricchiscono l'interno della chiesa sei altari, ai lati della navata, un organo da poco restaurato e datato 1885 e numerosi dipinti, tra cui spiccano quelli del pittore Francesco Saverio Mercaldi (il San Francesco da Paola datato 1898 e il Trittico della Confessione). Dal 7 ottobre 1990 il Santuario è stato eletto a Basilica minore ed il numero di visitatori e devoti è notevolmente aumentato. Nel 2000, celebrazione dell'Anno Santo, sono stati eseguiti importanti lavori di restauro ed i vecchi portoni d'ingresso sono stati sostituiti con portoni in bronzo, opera dello scultore Armando Marrocco. Questi i nomi delle tre porte: Janua Coeli (centrale) – Esodo (destra) – Stella Maris (sinistra). Sempre dal 2000 il complesso del Santuario si è arricchito di una vasta sala per conferenze ed un museo che attualmente ospita opere di importanti artisti contemporanei. All'interno della chiesa, sul lato destro dell'ingresso, troviamo un grosso masso monolitico, l'Ara a Minerva, testimonianza dell'antico culto che si teneva alla dea Minerva. Sempre all'ingresso ma questa volta sul lato sinistro, è posta una targa in bronzo a commemorazione dell'equipaggio dell'incrociatore francese Léon Gambetta, affondato a largo di Leuca la notte del 26 aprile 1915 con circa 700 uomini. Nel piazzale antistante la Basilica, rivolta verso la marina del paese, sorge la Croce monumentale, eretta il 21 ottobre 1901 in occasione dell'Anno Santo. Presenta quattro iscrizioni sui lati della costruzione. Sul viale che conduce alla Basilica tra gli alberi della pineta, si trova la Croce Pietrina costruita a testimonianza del passaggio di San Pietro. Infine molto famosa è la scalinata della cascata monumentale, ovvero due rampe di scale ognuna di 300 gradini che collegano il Santuario con il porto vecchio. Vennero costruite nel periodo fascista in occasione delle opere terminali dell'Acquedotto. Le due scalinate sono separate da una cascata artificiale aperta solo in occasioni particolari. A piedi delle scale si eleva la colonna romana del 1939.

La chiesa di Cristo Re
Chiesa di Cristo Re [modifica]
Si trova nel centro della marina di Leuca. I lavori di costruzione iniziarono nel 1896 su progetto dell'ingegnere Pasquale Ruggeri. L'apertura ai fedeli ed al pubblico avvenne però, solo 40 anni dopo nel 1935. Realizzata in carparo, è in stile romanico e gotico. L'interno si divide in tre navate. Molto bello il pavimento in mosaico, completato nel 1934,ed il rosone della facciata principale. I grandi finestroni delle navate laterali recano i nomi e gli stemmi delle famiglie nobili che parteciparono alla costruzione della chiesa.

taken in Lecce, Italy

Lecce (Italian: [ˈlettʃe] ( listen), Griko: Luppìu, Ancient Greek: Ἀλήσιον) is a historic city of 95,200 inhabitants in southern Italy, the capital of the province of Lecce, the second province in the region by population, as well as one of the most important cities of Puglia. It is the main city of the Salentine Peninsula, a sub-peninsula at the heel of the Italian Peninsula and is over 2,000 years old.

Because of the rich Baroque architectural monuments found in the city, Lecce is commonly nicknamed[2] "The Florence of the South". The city also has a long traditional affinity with Greek culture going back to its foundation; the Messapii who founded the city are said to have been Cretans in Greek records.[3] To this day, in the Grecìa Salentina, a group of towns not far from Lecce, the griko language is still spoken.

In terms of industry the "Lecce stone" is the city's main export, because it is very soft and malleable, thus suitable for sculptures. Lecce stone is a kind of limestone.[4] Lecce is also an important agricultural centre, chiefly for its olive oil and wine production, as well as an industrial centre specialising in ceramic production.

taken near Otranto

Puglia - Italy

Otranto (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɔːtranto]) is a town and comune in the province of Lecce (Apulia, Italy), in a fertile region once famous for its breed of horses.

It is located on the east coast of the Salento peninsula. The Strait of Otranto, to which the city gives its name, connects the Adriatic Sea with the Ionian Sea and Italy with Albania. The harbour is small and has little trade.

The lighthouse Faro della Palascìa, at approximately 5 km southeast of Otranto, marks the most easterly point of the Italian mainland.

About 50 km south lies the promontory of Santa Maria di Leuca (so called since ancient times from its white cliffs, leukos being Greek for white), the southeastern extremity of Italy, the ancient Promontorium lapygium or Sallentinum. The district between this promontory and Otranto is thickly populated and very fertile.

The Zen of Python

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
