Palazzo Madama

About

Across four floors of the Madama Palace, you'll take a journey through history. From ancient Rome, through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and up to the Baroque. Things start in the basement with the Roman foundations and medieval stonework, including sculptures and jewellery. You can also reach the medieval garden from here, a haven of peace in the heart of Turin. On the ground floor you'll find exhibits dedicated to the 15th-century castle and the art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Make sure to keep your eyes out for _Portrait of a Man_ by Antonello da Messina The Baroque rooms, on the first floor, house art from the 17th and 18th centuries, with paintings and furniture by Piffetti and Prinotto in lavishly decorated settings. On the second floor, you will be able to see the decorative arts of all ages: ceramics, ivories, jewellery, fabrics, glasswork, and much more.
