The new Gallerie d'Italia in Turin's Piazza San Carlo will open in 2022.

The construction site of the new Gallerie d’Italia in Turin continues: it is assumed to open to the public in early 2022. Meanwhile, Intesa Sanpaolo’s chairman emeritus Giovanni Bazoli and president Gian Maria Gros-Pietro visited yesterday the construction site of the museum venue that will be created in the central Piazza San Carlo. Accompanying them were Michele De Lucchi, architect curator of the project, Michele Coppola, Executive Director Art, Culture and Historical Assets of Intesa Sanpaolo, and Luca Tedesi, Executive Director Real Estate and Logistics of the Bank.

An 11,000-square-meter construction site where forty designers and twenty-two contractors are working and, in the coming days, a giant crane with a capacity of five tons will be erected.

The fourth location of the Gallerie d’Italia, with Milan, Naples and Vicenza, will feature photography and video art. In addition to temporary exhibitions, it will display a selection of works from Intesa Sanpaolo’s collections, including thePublifoto Archive, consisting of about seven million photographic shots of events, personalities, and places taken from the early 1930s to the 1990s.

“A wide staircase will descend into the bowels of the earth to lead to a museum lit from above, like a cathedral,” architect Michele De Lucchi had announced.
