Built in a 19th-century villa on the Po, Carlo Mollino’s last secret home can now be visited. Known for the architectural masterpiece of the Teatro Regio and the building supported by a single pillar of the Turin Chamber of Commerce, Carlo Mollino was a lecturer at the Faculty of Architecture, published literature, a volume of photographic criticism, one on skiing techniques, designed a racing car and an aerobatics plane, practising every discipline. One of his tables fetched $6,200,000 (New York, 2021). Casa Mollino is an unmissable destination.
The museum can only be visited by appointment and for a maximum of 6 people at a time.

Culture
The architect and designer Carlo Mollino never lived in this flat, located in a late 19th-century villa, but it preserves furniture, chairs, tables, chaise-longues, sculptures, photos, and objects created by the brilliant and imaginative Turinese designer. Situated just a few steps from the central Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the Mollino house-museum is a space curated by the artist himself, a small treasure trove containing memories of his most beautiful creations and the objects dearest to him.
The Mollino house-museum is particularly frequented by architects, designers, and artists who want to learn more about this great figure from Torino. The house is open by appointment, and there is a two-hour guided tour available to explore it
