The Mole Antonelliana is a monumental building in Turin, located in the historic center, symbol of the city and one of the symbols of Italy.
The name derives from the fact that, in the past, it was the tallest masonry construction in Europe, while its adjective derives from the architect who conceived it, Alessandro Antonelli.
