Casa della Vittoria

Casa della Vittoria, Neo-Gothic residential building in Cit Turin, Italy.

Casa della Vittoria is a six-story residential building on Corso Francia in Turin, with an eclectic medievalist facade in cement that imitates stone ashlar. A pair of large dragons flanks the wooden entrance portal, and the corner oriel ends in a crenellated turret.

Engineer Gottardo Gussoni designed the building between 1918 and 1920 for Giovanni Battista Carrera, who wanted to mark Italy's victory in World War I. The name Casa della Vittoria, meaning House of Victory, comes directly from that occasion.

The nickname Casa dei Draghi comes from the pair of large dragons flanking the wooden entrance portal, not from the balconies; the same dragons support the balustrades of the upper-floor balconies. The facade also carries coats of arms with allegorical figures between the windows of the main floor. The building appears in several films set in Turin, including Profumo di donna (1974) and Il divo (2008).

The building sits on Corso Francia, one of Turin's most recognizable streets, and is easy to spot on foot. The M1 metro line stops nearby, making it convenient to reach from other parts of the city.

A corner niche on the facade was planned to hold a statue but was never filled and remains empty to this day. This open space is easy to miss at first glance but becomes visible when you take a closer look at the exterior.
