The 19th-century Church of Gran Madre di Dio proudly sits on the banks of the Po River, overlooking the Vittorio Emanuele I Bridge and Piazza Vittorio Veneto.

Built to celebrate the defeat of the Napoleonic empire and the return of the House of Savoy from exile, any Turin itinerary should include it, especially because you must admire its beautiful Pantheon-inspired facade.

I also have to say that photos don't do it justice - it is much bigger and more impressive in real life.
