Fairytale castles, palaces impossible to be standing, dragons, and a tour on the killer's trail. What's next? Turin, a city with a thousand faces and just as many secrets. What better place to hide them than in plain sight, on the facades of its buildings. Look around, and a tangle of stories will open up to you. Some tales are well-known, others only whispered. Here are ten of them, irreverent, unusual and enigmatic. And with that aura of mystery that can never be lacking in the "city of magic".
