Thematic routes
The Masters of Baroque
As from the 17th Century, the House of Savoy’s determined efforts to build monuments to its power in the city, gave Turin a very recognisable identity.
Some of the period’s leading artists and architects produced works of immense value in Turin, and the historic centre’s churches are the most sumptuous testimony to Baroque magnificence.
Find out which churches these “Maestri” worked on, and learn more about the long succession of other historical figures who built churches and produced the artworks that adorn them.
The “Museo Diffuso” in Via Garibaldi
Come and explore the Museo Diffuso, a scattered-site museum in Via Garibaldi, to find out more about the artistic heritage of Turin’s oldest thoroughfare, and get a feel for the atmosphere in which Turin’s art has been enjoyed by patrons, artists and the public over the centuries. An enchanting route that casts new light on the historic centre, by reconnecting the churches of Via Dora Grossa, now Via Garibaldi, the system of Royal Museums and the cathedral complex with the Diocesan Museum.
