Via Principe Amedeo 34
Palazzo Tapparelli d’Azeglio
The construction of the palace dates back to 1683, when Giuseppe de Mesmes, Marquis of Marolles and Count of Chiavazza, commissioned its design from Michelangelo Garove.
The uniqueness of the palace lies in its design, which follows the “entre cour et jardin” scheme, meaning it is set back from the street and preceded by the honor courtyard.
The intervention by Filippo Castelli in 1780 added neoclassical stucco decorations.
The current name is due to the change of ownership in 1789, when it passed to Marquis Cesare Tapparelli d’Azeglio. It was within the walls of this palace that, in 1798, Massimo d’Azeglio was born, a well-known politician, writer, and painter.
An intervention by Barnaba Panizza in 1845 was followed by numerous modifications and restorations throughout the 20th century.
Since 1970, it has hosted the headquarters of the Luigi Einaudi Foundation.
