Designed and built in 1998 by Roberto Gabetti and Aimaro Origlia d'Isola, it connects the semi-undergrounded halls of the New Wing of Palazzo Reale with the Orangeries which rise on the northern boundary of the Giardini Inferiori. The partially undergrounded structure was designed as a big greenhouse that gets any sunlight through a glass-stained covering. It houses archeological artifacts of the Piedmontese territory from prehistory to the Early Middle Ages.
