About Lucento
Where to stay in Lucento
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds in Lucento answer to a short list of landmarks, since the Castello di Lucento and the Chiesa del Santo Volto are the two names a visitor is most likely to be walking towards. The castle carries the name. Santi Bernardo e Brigida and the Trasfigurazione del Signore anchor two other pockets of the district.
Anyone based here is choosing among Lucento's own corners, and which corner depends on whether the castle or one of the three churches sits at the end of the street.
About Lucento
What are the main landmarks in Lucento?
Lucento's whole roster is four buildings. The Castello di Lucento is the one secular landmark on the list, and the three churches, Chiesa del Santo Volto, Santi Bernardo e Brigida and the Trasfigurazione del Signore, make up the rest. Each church names a different dedication, so Lucento's built record reads as a series of parish titles rather than a single monument.
What is the history of Lucento?
Lucento keeps a castle and churches. The Castello di Lucento carries the district's own name, which makes it the one structure whose history and Lucento's are recorded under a single heading. Three dedications follow: Santi Bernardo e Brigida, the Trasfigurazione del Signore, and the Chiesa del Santo Volto.
Each of the three names a distinct patron or feast, and between them and the castle they are what Turin's record of this district actually preserves.
Where is Lucento?
Lucento occupies its own quarter of Turin, with the Castello di Lucento and the Chiesa del Santo Volto as its fixed points.
