There seems to have been some fallout over NBC's choice of using the name Torino instead of the more traditional name of Turin, with many people questioning why this is.
According to National Geographic News the official name of the city is indeed, Torino and it is the English language's mispronunciation of the towns name "Turin" that has lead to the misunderstanding. This after the city leaders of Torino petitioned the International Olympic Committee to use the official name of the town, Torino, rather than the english pronunciation "Turin".
Does this mean that the proper name of the shroud is "The Shroud of Torino"? Looks that way.
