Residenze Sabaude - L'Accademia Reale Torino

Today the Royal Academy, designed around a big courtyard, is impossible to imagine: instead of emptiness there is the fullness of the new Teatro Regio, whose curvilinear forms prevent from reading the continuity of the baroque project, well represented in the Theatrum Sabaudiae, which anticipated its construction. The rest of the Castellamonte project is still almost completely standing, and the residual military uses have settled in the rear housing sleeves, originally designed as outbuildings of the Cavallerizza.
