TheSavoy Gallery (Italian:Galleria Sabauda) is an art collection in the Italian city ofTurin, which contains the royal art collections amassed by theHouse of Savoy over the centuries. It is located on Via XX Settembre, 86.
The museum, whose first directors wereRoberto andMassimo d'Azeglio, unites the art collection ofEugene of Savoy, acquired after his death by his cousin, the king of Sardinia, with the works from theRoyal Palace of Turin, the picture gallery of theSavoy-Carignano, and the artworks from thePalazzo Durazzo inGenoa, acquired in 1824.
On 2 October 1832 (his birthday), KingCharles Albert of Savoy inaugurated the royal gallery at thePalazzo Madama, containing 365 paintings. In 1865, Massimo d'Azeglio had the collection transferred toGuarino Guarini's Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze (1679) where it stood until 2012 before it was moved to the current location.
On 4 December 2014, in the presence of the Italian minister of culture, the "Manica Nuova" of Palazzo Reale (New Wing of the Royal Palace) was officially opened.[1] The collection has now found its final place to be exhibited. The gallery is based on a brand new museum project conceived and developed by the superintendent Edith Gabrielli (for the scientific part) together with Studio Albini Associati (staging). The lighting is by CastagnaRavelli Studio, based in Milan; the graphics are by Noorda Design.
