Touring Turin For The Olympics

Google has added high-resolution imagery of Turin, Italy, to Google Earth and Google Local, so you can see lots of interesting terrain around the Olympic Games.

You can download this KMZ file to get placemarks for the major venues in Turin. They’ve also added street maps.

As an aside, could someone explain to me why the hell people keep saying “Torino”?
