Del Cambio in Turin Opens Its Art-Filled Rooms for Free Guided Visits
Established on 5 October 1757 in Turin, Ristorante Del Cambio has introduced a complimentary guided visit initiative named Open Doors, which will continue until 11 October, with further sessions planned for November and December. Chef Francesco Rovai leads this restaurant located at Piazza Carignano 2/2, showcasing modern art, including frescoes by Pietro Bonelli in the renovated Sala Risorgimento and mirror panels by Michelangelo Pistoletto in the Sala Pistoletto.
