A comment at the link;
Quote:
About the Lingotto building:
- in the eighties it has been renewed, following a Renzo Piano project (the factory closed down in 1980);
- yes, it now hosts quite an hideous shopping centre, but also a nice auditorium and an art gallery (that rectangular superfetation you can see on the roof, on the left of first pic);
- yes, unfortunately the track is not used anymore;
- and finally yes, the Italian Job was shooted there.
