Lingotto - il complesso Torino

The Pinacoteca dedicated to Giovanni and Marella Agnelli was inaugurated in 2002 and it is again signed by the architect Renzo Piano. Located on the roof with a raised and suspended external part called "Chest" (it contains in fact the "artistic treasures of the Agnelli family) which recalls, with its regularity, a direct relationship with the pre-existing building. Marked by the simplicity and cleanliness of the volume, it contains the works the Agnelli's art collection , as a permanent exhibition, distributed in a sort of aerial gallery: "it seems to float over the building at the edge of the famous test track, and its mass in the shape of a boat seems to be about to fly" (quote. from the book: Philip Jodidio, Piano. 1996 - 2005, Ed. Taschen, citaz. pag.179).
