Palazzo del Lavoro, Modernist palace in Turin, Italy

Palazzo del Lavoro is a square exhibition pavilion measuring 156 metres per side, made of sixteen 40-metre-square modules. Each module rests on a central tapered concrete pillar 25 metres high, topped by a 38-metre-diameter radial array of concrete beams. The facade carries a grid of horizontal bands and vertical metal sunshade louvers, and a steel lattice tower lettered "LAVORO" stands beside it.

The palace was built for Expo 61, an exhibition celebrating one hundred years since Italian unification. It stood as a symbol of the country's technological progress and economic strength after World War II.

The name Palazzo del Lavoro (Palace of Labour) dates from its role in the 1961 Italia '61 exhibition marking the centenary of Italian unification; it was first called Palazzo delle Nazioni. The building is now also known as Palazzo Nervi after its engineer. It stands abandoned in the Nizza Millefonti district, and the steel lattice tower carries the word LAVORO stacked vertically.

The building stands in the Nizza Millefonti district, in the Italia '61 zone at Turin's southern edge, not in the city centre. It has been in serious abandonment since 2009, after sporadic commercial use, and the State acquired it through Cassa Depositi e Prestiti in August 2020. Access is not open to visitors; the exterior, including the rusted metal louver screen, can be seen from the surrounding streets.

Each of the sixteen 40-metre square roof modules rests on a single central concrete pillar 25 metres tall, tapering upward and ending in a 38-metre-diameter radial fan of reinforced-concrete beams. Daylight enters through skylights formed where the modules are offset from one another. The lower level once held a large conference hall, two cinemas and a small accommodation facility.
