GALLERIA SABAUDA
The
Gallery houses noteworthy collections. It was established by Cerlo Alberto
in 1832 on the basis of the old picture collection of the Dukes and Kings
of Savoy. Since 1865 the Gallery has been situated on the second floor
of the seventeenth-century Palazzo del Collegio dei Nobili, later the
Academy of Sciences. Besides housing the collections of the Savoy family,
and works from the collections of Prince Eugene of Savoy-Soissons and
of the Savoy-Carignano family, as well as paintings from Palazzo Durazzo
in Genoa, the Gallery has expanded its collection over time by acquiring
paintings of Italian, Piedmontese and Flemish schools. It includes the
Gualino collection.
