Torino itineraries: from Piazza Carlina to Piazza Carignano

This article presents a curated walking itinerary through two historic Turin squares, blending art, design, gastronomy, and history. It begins at Piazza Carlina (Piazza Carlo Emanuele II), where the NH Collection hotel occupies a former tenement house once lived in by Antonio Gramsci. Nearby, the Vanni eyewear showroom features a capsule collection designed with artist Cristian Chironi. The square also hosts Trapizzino, a Roman street food concept, and Mara dei Boschi, an artisanal gelateria with vegan options. Moving to Piazza Carignano, the itinerary highlights the Museo del Risorgimento, recently renovated and housing the Chamber of Deputies where modern Italy was born. In the same square, Galleria Franco Noero's second venue presents a Simon Starling exhibition in its final days. The Palazzo Carignano also contains Bar Cavour, a lounge bar by Del Cambio with cocktails by Marco Ciminnisi, and the renowned Ristorante Del Cambio, revitalized since 2014 by chef Matteo Baronetto, alongside the Farmacia Reale bistrot.
