Villa La Tesoriera, 18th-century Baroque villa in Turin, Italy

Villa La Tesoriera is an early 18th-century Baroque building in Turin designed with a central section and two symmetrical wings. It sits within Parco della Tesoriera and retains original architectural details from its construction period, including decorated rooms and large wall frescoes.

The building was constructed between 1713 and 1715 for Aymo Ferrero Cocconato, treasurer to the Duke of Savoy. Over the centuries it passed through various owners before undergoing major renovation and reopening to the public in 2012.

The villa's name comes from Aymo Ferrero di Cocconato, treasurer general of the Savoy state, who bought the land in 1713. Since 2012 the building has housed the Andrea Della Corte music library, named after the musicologist whose personal archive it keeps, with opera librettos, music writing, records, CDs and a dance collection. Since 2014 the Villa of Composers association has also been based here.

The main entrance is at Corso Francia 186 in the Parella district, and the surrounding Parco della Tesoriera is open to the public. The library rooms are on the upper floor, reached by a lateral staircase rather than the original double stair. Look for the plane tree in the park, whose trunk measures 660 cm around at chest height.

The Grand Salon features elaborate wall frescoes painted by the artist Giovanni Battista Pozzo that visitors can discover while exploring. On the building's south side stands a painted plaque crediting designer Jacopo Maggi from Cremona, adding a local artistic connection to the house's story.
