It seems like the Torino newspaper La Stampa is concerned about the state of Torino these days, and for a good reason. Although the stadiums and sites for the events are mostly finished, the city itself is far from ready to receive visitors from all over the world. Torino is still a mess with construction sites scattered all over the historical centre reminding visitors that there are still a lot to do before the Olympic fire is lit in only 38 days.
The editors of La Stampa has published a very describing set of images to illustrate the problem. Obviously it's a matter of image, what is needed is to clean up the city after all the astonishing building and renovation projects that have totally transformed this once heavily industrialised city. But the doubt lingers and as the newspaper writes:
"We're risking to present ourselves to the Olympic visitors with impressive arenas, but surrounded by something that reminds of a "bidonville" [Shanty town]. In order to find a solution it would be enough to clean the city. But do we have enough time to do that?"
