On Monday night, the city of Turin celebrated Jannik Sinner’s achievement by projecting his image onto its famous Mole Antonelliana monument and lighting up the bridges across the Po. Turin intended to rejoice in this manner following the triumph of the Italian champion in Melbourne.
For an evening, the entire population of Turin had their noses turned upwards as they observed and captured images of the Mole Antonelliana, which was colored orange—the fandom of Sinner’s favorite color.
