Art and cultural discoveries

Casa del Conte Verde can host exhibitions, conferences and vernissages. It has exhibition spaces, a conference room and a bookshop. Casa Museo Antonio Carena traces Antonio Carena's artistic development from academic drawings through the informal phase to Pop Art. The cultural spectrum therefore ranges from changing event formats and versatile spaces to the development of a single artist across several artistic phases.

Historic sites with their own character

Individual buildings also create distinctive focal points. The Campanile di Santa Maria della Stella has its original mechanical clockwork from the 18th century. The Cappella di S. Grato was built in the mid-17th century on the site of an older wayside shrine dedicated to the saint. The Torre della Filanda is an old medieval tower; its name recalls its industrial past in the 19th century, when it belonged to a spinning-mill complex. The Palazzo Civico in Rivoli dates from the 13th century.

Palaces and museums in the nearby area

The area around Rivoli is home to the Casa del Conte Verde palace, the Castello di Rivoli palace, the Palazzo Piozzo palace and the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Rivoli museum. These places add further palaces and museum destinations to Rivoli's cultural themes, without all the impressions having the same historical or artistic focus.

Getting to Castello di Rivoli

Public transport to Castello di Rivoli involves the metro, bus 36 to Piazza Martiri della Libertà, and then the line 36 shuttle to Piazza Mafalda di Savoia. This sequence provides practical guidance for planning a visit to the Castello, while the other destinations can be added to the itinerary according to their individual character.

Those who want to include landscapes as well as museums and historic buildings can distinguish between destinations according to their different geographical settings when planning their trip.

Which location suits your stay

When choosing a holiday apartment in Rivoli, you can shape the focus of your trip around whether the Museo di Arte Contemporanea, Casa del Conte Verde and historic buildings such as the Torre della Filanda should determine your daily itinerary, or whether Monte Musinè, the Goja Del Pis waterfall, Giardini La Marmora and Villa Colla Park should also be included. Giardini La Marmora is located in the nearby area around Rivoli, as is Villa Colla Park. The choice of accommodation thus becomes a question of the type of trip you want: art and history, individual cultural sites or a combination with destinations in the surrounding area.
