MUSEO NAZIONALE DEL RISORGIMENTO ITALIANO

The upper floor of the Carignano Palace building has hosted the National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento since 1938.
Completely recreated in 2011, today it is a modern space, capable of narrating the period of the ‘Risorgimento’, from the great revolutions of the 18th century to the onset of World War I, to visitors in a European key.
The museum itinerary includes the two original parliament houses: the Chamber of Deputies of the Subalpine Parliament - the only one in Europe, among those founded under the constitution of 1848, which has wholly survived and which was nominated National Monument in 1898 - and the majestic courtroom destined for the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Kingdom, with vaults painted by Francesco Gonin, built between 1864 and 1871.
The museum also boasts a highly specialised library known all over the world.
