No, not "mole" like the animal, it's pronounced "mol-eh", and refers to a large building.

In this case it is the symbol of Torino, and it was also our neighbour. Indeed when a friend of mine and her husband (both Torino locals) came to our apartment and went out on the balcony, their reaction was "Wow, it really is right there..." It would be the Sydney equivalent of seeing the Opera House from your lounge room.
