The National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento is located in the evocative setting of Palazzo Carignano, designed by Guarino Guarini between 1679 and 1683. The Museum offers an itinerary of 30 rooms, in which the Risorgimento period, from the great revolutions of the eighteenth century to the threshold of the Great War, is illustrated in a local, national and European key. At the centre of the 3500 sq.m. exhibition, enriched by videos and interactive tables with images from the most important European collections and thematic projections in the cinema, it is possible to admire the Chamber of Deputies of the subalpine parliament, the only parliament that has remained intact since the revolutions of 1848 and a national monument since 1898.
The Museum also has a library with a highly specialized newspaper library.
