Culture

On the roof of the Lingotto, a building designed in the 1920s by Giacomo Mattè Trucco as the first FIAT factory, lies the famous car test track, a symbol of industrial Turin.

In the 1980s, architect Renzo Piano repurposed the entire building into a multifunctional space, adding new elements such as Lo Scrigno (home to the permanent collection of the Pinacoteca Agnelli) and La Bolla (a fully glazed meeting room), while preserving other iconic features like the rooftop track and the spiral ramps that allowed cars to access it.

The track was transformed again in 2019, through a project by the Turin-based studio Camerana & Partners, along with landscape architect Cristiana Ruspa, into a garden with over 40,000 plants, which now hosts temporary contemporary art installations curated by the Pinacoteca Agnelli.
