June 28, 2011 Poirino, Italy - Two extraordinary 2011 crop formations have been reported in the northwestern town of Poirino, Italy, on June 13 and 20, 2011.

Poirino is a town in the Province of Turin in the Italian Piedmont region located about 12 miles (20 km) southeast of Turin (Torino) where the famous Christ Shroud is kept.

Poirino has also been the location of other crop formations over the past decade, including one on June 11, 2010.

Its estimated size was 150 meters by 150 meters.

That large, 6-petaled crop formation - very similar to the June 13, 2011, pattern - was reported to represent the lunar cycle for a 6-month period.
