Casa Cavassa

Casa Cavassa is a Renaissance palace in Saluzzo featuring classical columns, spiral staircases, and large rooms spread across six floors. The building extends three levels below ground and now houses an art collection with works and objects from multiple centuries.

The palazzo began as a medieval structure but was transformed by the Cavassa family into a Renaissance residence in the 15th century. This transformation happened during the rule of Ludovico II and made the building a symbol of the family's new wealth and refined taste.

The rooms show how wealthy families lived during the Renaissance, with spaces that reflect their status and taste. Visitors can see how daily luxury of that era appeared through the furnishings, paintings, and objects on display.

The museum is open during the warmer months and visitors should expect to use the stairs multiple times to explore all areas from the basement to the upper floors. The different levels connect to each other, so you can move through the building at your own pace.

The basement levels preserve original Gothic windows that offer a glimpse into the time before the Renaissance transformation took place. These older architectural details are subtle but visible for those who look closely.
