Gualino Palace

Gualino Palace is a rationalist office building in Turin featuring seven floors along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and five floors on Via della Rocca. The facade displays clean geometric lines and regular window patterns typical of this architectural approach.

The palace was commissioned in 1930 by financier Riccardo Gualino and designed by architects Gino Levi-Montalcini and Giuseppe Pagano. The project was part of Turin's modernization during the interwar period.

The building represents a significant shift in Italian architecture during the 1930s, marking the transition from traditional to modernist design principles.

The building is centrally located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and is easily visible from the public street. The rationalist-designed entrance faces the main avenue and is accessible to pedestrians.

The building incorporates sections of the former Villa Gallenga within its service areas, blending new construction with existing structures. This fusion of two architectural periods makes the project architecturally noteworthy.
