Gallerie d’Italia - Turin: a place of art and culture
Turin’s Gallerie d’Italia are in Palazzo Turinetti, Intesa Sanpaolo’s registered office and historical headquarters in Piazza San Carlo: they house the Intesa Sanpaolo Publifoto Archive – with around 7 million shots taken between the nineteen thirties and nineties by one of the leading agencies of Italian photojournalism - and exhibit a selection of works from the Group’s collections, including the pictorial cycle of the ancient Oratory of the Compagnia di San Paolo owned by the Bank.
Turin’s Gallerie d’Italia offer an exhibition tour of 10,000 metres on five floors, three of which are underground: spaces in which photography and video art document and preserve images, events and reflections in order to promote the issues linked the evolution of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) sustainability.
One of the distinctive features of the Turin Gallerie is a multimedia room, a real jewel of technology and innovation, equipped with seventeen 4K projectors able to offer to visitors the feeling of literally being immersed in the images and the videos.
The architectural design of the new exhibition spaces of the Gallerie d’Italia in Turin, inaugurated in May 2022, is by Michele De Lucchi – AMDL Circle.

Dedicated to the history of the musical event, featuring historical photographs from the Intesa Sanpaolo Publifoto Archive, the exhibition focuses on "off-stage" moments: the singers during rehearsals, the artists' catwalks around the city, autographs, the audience, the artists portrayed in curious situations, the make-up room, the orchestra and the press room.
