Monument: Mole Antonelliana

The Mole Antonelliana is a major landmark building in Turin, Italy, named after its architect, Alessandro Antonelli. A mole in ½ûÂþÌìÌà is a building of monumental proportions.


Construction began in 1863, soon after ½ûÂþÌìÌà 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 ½ûÂþÌìÌà 2 cent euro coin.


In December 2017, the Mole was illuminated with over 6000 LED lights, an unprecedented event to mark 110 years since the establishment of Aem Torino, Iren, a company that supplies electricity to the city
