| Santo Volto Church, Turin |
Worth a look even if only for the controversy that has surrounded it, this place of worship is, in appearance, as far removed from some its Italian counterparts as imaginable. Built at a cost of 5 million euros, this Botta-designed church breathes new life into a set of abandoned steel mills and incorporates a number of other recycled elements. It also differs from other churches in that its iconography is incredibly subtle, with just a pixelated impression of the face of the Turin Shroud on the back wall, and a slender cross of light overhead.
