Turin’s Liberty heritage can be found in two adjoining neighborhoods northwest of the historic centre: San Donato and Cit Turin. As you can see in the document we linked above, Corso Francia is one of the main streets to enjoy Liberty.

A major exhibition of decorative arts held in Turin in 1902, the Prima Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte Decorativa Moderna, an event that had far-reaching influence and popularised a taste for an Art Nouveau style in the applied arts. The exhibition was held in Valentino Park and was based on a project by Raimondo D’Aronco. The biennial Venice exhibition of 1903 presented itself as an involution with respect to the previous year, due to the new denial of the autonomy of decorative art that was not presented in a separate section and to the choice of still favoring regionalism.

Pietro Fenoglio is the architect who best represents Art Nouveau in Turin, a style that was linked to the modernisation of building techniques like cast iron combined with glass and reinforced cement structures. Discover the Food Culture of Turin by reading THIS ARTICLE (CLICK HERE).
