Palazzo Saluzzo Paesana, Baroque palace in Turin, Italy.
Palazzo Saluzzo Paesana is a Baroque palace in Turin with grand Doric and Corinthian columns adorning its entrance atrium and interior courtyards. The building spans an entire city block and features decorated rooms and halls throughout its structure.
Construction took place between 1715 and 1722 under the direction of architect Gian Giacomo Plantery for nobleman Baldassarre Saluzzo di Paesana. The nobleman intended his residence to rival the grandeur of Turin's Royal Palace in scope and design.
The eastern wing holds ceremonial rooms decorated with loggias that connected the nobility during their daily social gatherings and formal receptions.
The palace hosts events and exhibitions throughout its rooms, with professional kitchen facilities available for catering needs. The various spaces allow for different uses depending on what visitors or organizers require.
In 1902 the palace drew public attention when authorities uncovered a criminal case involving missing persons within its basement areas. This dark chapter became an unexpected part of the building's modern history.
