Palazzo Valentino: You Can Look but Only at a Safe Distance

  Palazzo Valentino is a Savoy palace that is surrounded by a huge park. I love driving past it because it's gorgeous and French and is designed like 2 arms welcoming you into the heart of the castle. I would love to see inside it but alas, there are no tours. You see this palace is now a university for architects and tourists are not allowed. Something I was reminded of several times by some overly excited teachers as I got up close one day to take some photographs. I guess I look dangerous....to students???
