This beautiful church is not as ornate as other Catholic churches in Italy, but it is still impressive in its own way. Of notable interest - this is the church where Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati took his vows as a lay Dominican. A painting of the Blessed on one of the inside pillars shows him in a well-known pose - that of a hiker in the mountains. (Blessed Pier was quite athletic in his day.) Another item I found to be of interest in this church was a statue of St. Catherine of Siena laying on her side in a glass reliquary. Although quite simple in design, this church is still worth the visit.

I have been to the center of my town many times, but this is the first one that I found S. Domenico open. Another beautiful church, this one is one of the oldest churches in Turin and I believe, the only one that is Gothic. Unfortutenaly, also the church in Turin involved in the Inquisition. The inside contains multiple levels of reconstructions over the centuries, but on the walls, here and there, there are frescoes that that date back to the 13th century.
