  • Story Text: People from all corners of the world gathered at the Piazza Solferino in Turin on Friday (February 10) to watch the Winter Olympics opening ceremony on a massive screen.
    The turnout was less than expected though, as most people had though chosen to make their way to the Olympic Stadium or, because of the chilly night, stay at home and watch the event on television.
