The Church of Great Mother of God was built in 1831 by arch. Bonsignore in the course of king return's celebrations (Ob Adventum Regis) after the Italian Napoleonic occupation. But immediately Turinese people repented of this monarchy re-establishment carried out by Austrian Kingdom.


How said Massimo D'Azeglio (writer, patriot and politician) about the King Vittorio Emanuele the first, in honor of whom was built this Pantheon: "He seems a goof" and just he was one of course, if we think was his intention to destroy the bridge in front to Great Mother, just because its was built by order of Napoleone Bonaparte
Inside there's a ossuary in a suggestive crypte celebrating 5000 Turineses fell during the First World War. But we see it another time.
