Palazzo Priotti

Palazzo Priotti, 19th-century palace in central Turin, Italy.

Palazzo Priotti is a five-story building along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II adorned with elaborate decorative features including shell motifs, twisted columns, and wrought iron balconies. The detailed ornamentation covers the entire facade and gives the structure a commanding presence on the street.

Engineer Carlo Ceppi completed this structure in 1901 after taking over the project following architect Camillo Riccio's death in 1899. The completion marked a turning point in the architectural development of this central Turin street.

From 1865 the corner of Via Urbano Rattazzi housed the Caffè Burello, a meeting place for travellers, the aristocracy and Turin's rising bourgeoisie. In 1913 the Frisetti family replaced the courtyard ice rink with a cinema, designed by Eugenio Ballatore di Rosana, which still operates as the Cinema Ambrosio.

The building sits in a central location just a few minutes walk from Porta Nuova metro station and very close to the Egyptian Museum. A cinema operates within its spaces, making it an active hub in the city center.

The building's main facade marks the end of the porticoed route designed by Carlo Promis around Porta Nuova station and Piazza Carlo Felice. Its central crowning element, a wide tripartite skylight framed by twisted columns, friezes and pinnacles, repeats a motif Ceppi had already used at Palazzo Ceirana-Mayneri.
