Torino is a 1911 illustrated art survey of Turin published in Bergamo by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche, written by Pietro Toesca, a scholar of Italian art history, for readers interested in the city's architecture and decoration. Its halftone plates show carved stone reliefs and tomb-like panels, a painted ceiling with framed medallions and figures, a colonnade of twisted columns under vaulted arches, and a courtyard with arcades and potted palms, offering a designer ornate Renaissance and Baroque motifs of carved framing, painted ceilings and spiral columns.
