Description
This lovely 50 sq.mt attic apartment opens up on the left onto a living room, where the skylights and the white furniture create a perfect atmosphere for relaxing moments. A comfortable corner couch is located under a skylight, as well as the crystal table for 6 people, while small bookcases and shelves are along the perimeter of the room, in order to exploit at their best also the lower walls under the beams of the mansard roof. On the right is the kitchen, which, even though a bit small, is fully equipped and complete with a wooden table.
Past the kitchen is a cosy double bedroom with a double bed, where shelves and little niches closed by lovely coloured curtains are used as dressers and closets, making the sleeping area a very characteristic one. The apartment comes complete with the bathroom and with a small toilet turned into a laundry room.
Quartier
The apartment is located in the heart of Central Turin, a strategic position in which to enjoy the history of Turin, its museums, its churches, its shops and its streets immersed in the past.
The splendid Via PO, laid out in 1673 by the architect Amedeo di Castellamonte, was considered at that time one of the most beautiful streets in Europe. Its 1,250 meters of porticos on each side run from Piazza Castello to Piazza Vittorio Veneto, just steps away from the Po river and the Murazzi. Today it is one of the main commercial streets in the centre: on the right (heading towards the river) is a succession of bars, shops and bookstores; on the left the Stemmi Palace, the University Palace and stalls of used books.
Within a short distance are the Mole Antonelliana, whose height of 167.5 meters towers over the city, containing the now famous Museum of the Cinema (absolutely not to be missed); the National University Library; the museum of the Italian Risorgimento; the Egyptian Museum of Turin, one of the world`s most important collections after that in Cairo, founded in 1824 by Carlo Felice. Arriving in Piazza Castello one sees the royal aspect of Turin with Palazzo Madama at its center. In the 1600`s this splendid palace was the official residence of the regents to the throne Maria Cristina of France and Maria Giovanna Battista of Savoy-Nemours. The baroque facade is by Juvarra as is the monumental grand staircase. Juvarra`s entire project was however not completed, and the rest of the building is seen today as a medieval castle.
Just behind it is the marvellous Royal Palace, a grandiose example of 17th century architecture, rearranged and enlarged several times. Up until 1659 it was the residence of the King of Sardinia and then of Vittorio Emanuele II until 1865. The design was by Carlo and Amedeo di Castellamonte, the facade by Carlo Morello. The rich royal apartments with their original furnishings can be visited. To the rear are the well-maintained Royal Gardens, layed out in 1697 by Andre Le Notre, the "father" of the gardens of Versailles, where in summer concerts and other occasions are held.
A few meters away are the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista where the Holy Shroud is kept, the Teatro Regio, the Royal Library and the church of San Lorenzo.
The end of Via Po opens on one of the most beautiful squares of the city. 360 meters long and 111 wide, Piazza Vittorio Veneto was projected in 1825 by the architect Giuseppe Frizzi. The ideal culmination to Via Po, the square has porticos on three sides and in recent years - thanks to the pedestrianalization of the part next to Via Po - has seen the opening of various bars and cafes ( Caffe Elena, the Drogheria, Cafe 21).
The apartment overlooks Piazza Bodoni, opened in 1835, where the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi is found, built by the architect Giovanni Ricci and inaugurated in 1912. At any given hour of the day passers by may delight in listening to the music coming from the conservatory. The notorious Kipling Café is also on this square, with its lovely atmosphere enhanced by the open air tables in the warmer months.
