FILE - In this Sunday, April 19, 2015 filer, a man walk past the Holy Shroud, the 14 foot-long linen revered by some as the burial cloth of Jesus, on display at the Cathedral of Turin, Italy. Milan is used to being the center of attention, albeit in brief spurts. The fashion crowd blows through here four times a year.  The city is the site of one of the world’s premier design fairs each April. But nothing compares with the global attention that the Expo 2015 world’s fair is expected to generate, and city officials are going all out to ensure that Italy’s fashion and financial capital puts its best foot forward. Not to be left out of consideration is the one-time Italian capital Turin. Thanks to high-speed trains, its main station is just three-quarters of an hour from the Expo grounds. Visitors to Turin can view the Holy Shroud through June 24 and a rarely viewed self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci through June 2. (AP Photo/Massimo Pinca, File)
