This print captures the intricate beauty of a building nestled within the complex of Casa Madre dei Salesiani in Valdocco, Turin. The photograph, dating back to 1900, showcases the remarkable architecture and decorative elements that adorn this religious structure. The focal point of the image is a stunning balustrade that gracefully frames the building's facade. Its delicate design adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the overall composition. The various sections and details showcased in this photograph highlight the meticulous craftsmanship employed during its construction. One cannot help but be drawn to a magnificent stained glass window, which serves as a vibrant centerpiece amidst its surroundings.
