'Casa del Pingun' is a 15th-century building (listed by the Department of Heritage and Culture) which looks out over the archaeological park created between Porta Palatina and Palazzo Reale, in the heart of Turin's historic city centre.
The building  - once the home of Emanuele Filiberto Pingone, an illustrious humanist at the court of Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy - was transformed into an avantgarde  centre that offers a series of different cultural services and events: good food, hospitality, music and art.
