This is the Archdiocese of Turin's own custodial page for the Shroud of Turin, maintained by the Custodia della Sindone; the Pope holds the formal title of Pontifical Custodian and the Archbishop of Turin is the appointed keeper who administers its display and veneration. As the official custodial body's own record it is authoritative for the Shroud's custody, its exhibition history and its status within Catholic devotional practice. Its limit is that it is the custodian's own account, not an independent scientific or historical study, so a claim about the Shroud's age or authenticity, a question radiocarbon dating and image analysis have both been brought to bear on with disputed results, needs a scientific source engaging that question directly.
