Gallerie d'Italia Turin

Gallerie d’Italia Torino tickets: free under 26 and on first Sundays

Entry here is free every day for anyone under 26, and for everyone on the first Sunday of the month.

The museum sells its own tickets, online and at the desk, and recommends booking online, though you don’t have to. Inside, you can go round with the Gallerie d’Italia app, which also lets you skip the queue, or with a museum guide: a guided visit for individual visitors costs €5 on top of the ticket, at set times each month, and needs booking.

Gallerie d’Italia with the Torino+Piemonte Card

The Torino+Piemonte Card includes the entry here, and booking stays optional, as it is for everyone else. For visitors under 26 the card makes no difference here, since they go in free anyway.

Photography on five floors at the Gallerie d’Italia, down to the Publifoto archive

The architect Michele De Lucchi, of AMDL Circle, designed the museum, and it opened in May 2022 as the bank’s fourth, after those in Milan, Naples and Vicenza. It has five floors and about 10,000 square metres of exhibition space, and much of it goes to photography, alongside a selection of Piedmontese Baroque works and pieces from the bank’s collections.

The ground floor opens onto a cloister and a staircase, and the exhibition rooms are underground. Three floors down, on level −3, are the Publifoto Intesa Sanpaolo Archive, about seven million photographs from the 1930s to the 1990s, and a multimedia room with a 360-degree installation.

The current exhibition is Wandering Europe, by the photographer Luca Campigotto, until 7 February 2027, and Anastasia Samoylova’s Harbor is also on the programme.

Gallerie d’Italia opening hours and the cloakroom

Umbrellas and bulky bags have to go in the cloakroom, which is free, and smaller bags can go there too. The bookshop has its own entrance on Via Santa Teresa, and there’s free Wi-Fi once you register.

Gallerie d’Italia on Piazza San Carlo, 500 metres from Porta Nuova
