Palaces and and rental houses

The civil buildings are rental homes alongside noble palaces, but the differences between the two housing models are minimal, since the typically Turinese noble house should provides an income; on the ground floor there are the shops, on the first floor the main apartment and on the upper floors the rented accommodation. In 1772 the plan of the architect Dellala allows the raising of the buildings of the Contrada di Po; the mezzanine is inserted and the attics are used for maximum exploitation of the lot.

Anche il Palazzo degli Stemmi rispetta le proporzioni di facciata, la partitura tra i piani, gli assi delle finestre. Unica decorazione aggiunta: gli stemmi nobiliari delle famiglie piemontesi.
