Cappella dei Mercanti

Chapel of Merchants is quite hidden. It's possible to get in from SS Martiri's Church in via Garibaldi, 25. Built in the end of 1600 (1692) by Bernardo Antonio Vittone and Filippo Castelli it's rich of decorations and paintings (mostly by Andrea Pozzo). It definitely deserves a visit.

La Cappella dei Mercanti è quasi nascosta. Si accede dalla Chiesa dei SS Martiri in via Garibaldi, 25. Costruita alla fine del '600 (1692) su progetto degli architetti Bernardo Antonio Vittone and Filippo Castelli è ricca di decorazioni e tele (in massima parte di Andrea Pozzo). Merita davvero una visita.

    This reminds me of the Piccolomini Library at the Duomo in Siena. Lovely!!

    How beautiful, and what a great photo. The colors of the ceiling are magnificent. I will certainly visit when I make it to Torino, which I hope is sooner than later!

    E' davvero bellissima! E malgrado conosca piuttosto bene Torino, non ne avevo mai sentito parlare... Si può sempre visitare quando la chiesa è aperta? La prossima volta che verrò a Torino non me la lascerò sfuggire!
    Grazie per le splendide foto che ci regali sempre.

    It is still only a dream. But the more I see from you Italian bloggers, the stronger my dream becomes, to visit Italy.

Torino was the first Capital of Italy, the city that hosted XX Olympic and IX Paralympic Winter Games and Torino Daily Photo is the first photo blog of the city --- I am sorry but due the spam comments, anonymous users are not allowed...
