Palazzo della Provincia, Administrative palace in Turin, Italy.
Palazzo della Provincia is a tall administrative building in Turin designed with rationalist architectural elements across its multiple floors. The structure houses office spaces and modern facilities while forming a notable landmark in the city skyline.
Built from 1962 on the site of the former city slaughterhouse, the tower was designed by Ottorino Aloisio, who won the STIPEL competition for a new corporate headquarters. Telecom moved its registered office to Milan in 2008, and a two-year renovation by Paolo Rosani turned the building into the operational seat of the Province of Turin, inaugurated on 10 October 2008.
The building has housed the offices of the Provincia di Torino, now the Città metropolitana di Torino, since its inauguration on 10 October 2008. It is not open to visitors, who see it from outside along Corso Inghilterra. The 2008 renovation by Paolo Rosani added a 400-seat auditorium and replaced the original polychrome klinker cladding.
The building is located in central Turin and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should check whether interior areas are open for viewing, as it remains an active administrative building.
The 2008 renovation by Paolo Rosani stripped out Ottorino Aloisio's original polychrome klinker cladding and most of his custom details, such as the railings, window frames and even the office signage graphics he designed. The facade's pronounced vertical rhythm was also altered, and asbestos was removed during the two-year works. The building reopened as the Province of Turin's operating headquarters on 10 October 2008.
