Born to be 47 mt. high, grew over the years till it reached the height of 167 mt. It thus became the highest traditional brick building in the world. It was started in april 1863 and opened in 1908. It was presented to the Turinese people in its definitive form in 1963, the year of its 100th anniversary. ATM (now GTT) also has a long history, and since 1964 it has been operating the lift wich provides delight thrills to millions of visitors. An opportunity that has been revived, with a new panoramic lift having all crystal walls, for a truly unforgettable experience.

To celebrate the history of cinema, from its origins to today, the National Museum of Cinema offers visitors numerous exhibits and multimedia displays. The Museum couldn’t have a better location – it is housed in the famous Mole Antonelliana. One of the most interesting exhibits is the collection of pre-cinema objects belonging to the Prolo Foundation (which founded the museum in 1941). The main and central room is dominated by the golden idol of the film “Cabiria” by Giovanni Pastrone. Five floors, which wind around the central room, lead you through the history of cinema (from the magic lamps to digital film).

The Mole antonelliana is the most famous monument of Torino. It was built by Alessandro Antonelli between 1863 and 1889 and, originally, it was planned to be a sinagogue. It is 185 metres high, so it's one of the highest buildings of the city.
Today, the Mole hosts the Museo del Cinema, the first museum of that kind in Italia, which shows a wide collection of playbills, masks, films and everything related to the world of cinema.
Inside the Mole there is a lift that enables visitors to reach a height of 85 metres, from where they can see all of Torino. It's a very suggestive experience.
Opening times:
Monday: close
Tuesday-Friday: 9-20;
Saturday: 9-23;
Sunday: 9-20.
The first of these photos was taken from the Parco del Valentino, the second from just outside it (I think). The third picture was taken in the evening (around 18), when many monuments and squares were embellished with light games. In the case of the Mole, a three-colour red-white-green light, representing the Italian flag, was projected on its dome. Here you see just the red and the white light.

If you visit the Mole Antonelliana, I suggest you'd take the panoramic lift running in the middle of it that takes you to a height of 85 metres from where you can enjoy wonderful sights over Torino. If it isn't a foggy day, you can see Superga (like in the second and third photos).
Running times of the lift:
Monday: close;
Tuesday-Friday and Sunday: 10-20 (you can buy your ticket until 19.15);
Saturday: 10-23 (you can buy your ticket until 22.15). Leave a Comment Address: via Montebello, 20Phone: +39 0118125658

Icon of the city, and minted on the backside of the Italian 2 Eurocent coin, this downtown spire dwarfs all other city buildings. It hosts the National Museum of Cinema and at 167 m (548 ft) it's the tallest building in the world made of bricks.
You can choose whether to visit the National Museum of Cinema and/or take the elevator for a few Euro fee. This elevator takes up to the observation deck and it's not recommended to those who are afraid of height. The car runs on cables right in the center axis of the building with empty space around and a few friends felt extremely uncomfortable.
The observation deck offers a magnificent 270° view over the Alps. Just avoid hazy days. Leave a Comment

A unique thrill, to be experienced in the monument that is the emblem of Turin.
A spectular trip into the history of the city with the opportunity to enjoy a matchless panorama!!!!
The trip is done in maximum safety and thanks to the use of a futuristic structure made of transparent crystal, through which you can view a unique architectural beauty and an abundance of the new cinema museum settings.

Icon of the city, and minted on the backside of the Italian 2 Eurocent coin, this downtown spire dwarfs all other city buildings. It hosts the National Museum of Cinema and an elevator - not recommended if you're afraid of height - takes you to the observation deck. Otherwise some exercise through an inclined pathway will help saving some ticket toll.
Across the Po river, perched on a hill, the former monastery of Monte dei Cappuccini hosts the National Museum of Mountain. Yes, Torino is also informally known as the "capital of the Alps" and this museum pays tribute to the alpine people and their living style. The deck offering a magnificent 270° view over the Alps is a must. Just avoid hazy days.
Monte dei Cappuccini is a monastery perched on the hill and overlooking the quiet Po river and home to the National Museum of Mountains. A picture taken from the terrace right at the museum entrance is probably the best shot of the city.

The symbol of Turn, with its "square dome" towers over the city. The dome is actually featured on Italy's version of the Euro 2 cent coin.
The building houses the National Museum of Cinema.
You can buy tickets for the lift to the viewing platform at the base of the spire and tickets to the museum separately.
The lift experience was amazing!!! It is transparent and zooms you up through the museum which has a funky, dark red glow. As you move up through the centre of the building, you climb through the different floors of the museum. Leave a Comment Address: Via Montebello

This building is the Turin equivalent of the Eiffel Tower in Paris: an unmissably tall landmark that serves no clear purpose except perhaps to act as a signature for the city. It looks like a glorified lightning conductor - in fact in 1954 an electrical storm struck down the top 47m (155ft), which was later replaced. The 167m (550ft) Mole, by Alessandro Antonelli was meant to be a synagogue, but the city finished it in 1897 and used it to house the Risorgimento museum. The Mole ("massive structure") - for a time the world's tallest building - became a symbol of Italian unity and today houses the Cinema Museum.
The views from the top (which are reached by a rather nerve-raking central lift) are simply breathtaking and well worth the wait in queue at the bottom for. Leave a Comment Address: Via Montebello 20Directions: Just look up from anywhere in the city and you can't miss it!

The symbol of Torino.. you will see it from almost every corner of the city. The lumination brings additional charm at night.. Cinema museum inside worth a visit.. we queued for an hour to get in though.. if you still have time, take the elevator get on the top terrace.. gorgeous gorgeous night view from there..
