Palazzo Carignano is a historical building in the centre of Turin which currently houses the Museum of the Risorgimento.

Building

In the second half of the XVII century Emanuele Filiberto commissioned Guarino Guarini to design a palace for his family. The building, constructed in brick in a typical Baroque style, has an elliptical center façade. The decorations over the windows of the piano nobile recall the campaign of the Carignano family with the French against the Iroquois in 1667.

History

From 1848 to 1861 the palace was used for the House of Deputies of the Subalpine Parliament. In 1861, with the new Italian parliament, the room was too small to host the House of Deputies.

Trivia

Marie Therese de Savoie-Carignan, later Princesse de Lamballe and ill-fated confidante of Queen Marie Antoinette was born here in 1749
