    "You cannot go to Turin without expecting to see its greatest attraction: the Sindone, or as we call it in English, the Shroud. The problem is that the Turin Shroud is kept well and truly shrouded in the Duomo, the rather subdued Renaissance cathedral. Enclosed in a Hogwartian trunk behind a sheet of plate glass, bulletproofed in case anyone wanted to assassinate it, the shroud’s appearances are strictly controlled."
