Very nice cycle path. Quite crowded in good weather and at certain times.

Since the Savoy family wouldn't allow her burial in the Pantheon with her husband, Vittorio Emanuele II, Rosa Vercellana's children said, "Oh yeah? We'll build our own Pantheon" (I don't think they added "with blackjack and a high-class call girl"). No sooner said than done: a mini-pantheon where the beautiful Rosin, the great love of King Vittorio Emanuele II, was buried. Her body was later moved in the 1970s, and the mausoleum was restored and converted into a library. Not always open, it's still worth a stop to take a good look.

It is located in the Mirafiori Sud district and was built in 1888 for Rosa Vercellena, morganatic wife of Vittorio Emanuele II who used it as a residence. After years of abandonment it was restored in 2005, now used as a library and for exhibitions, accessible at different times depending on the season

From the front where you also have an opportunity to have a drink, there is a beautiful view of the palace. Very nice to walk around it…
