Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli — Attraction in Turin

Rude personel and definitely dog unfriendly place. So, I came with my wife and our 13 kg dog. After paying for tickets, the guy told us that we have to carry our dog. If we knew that before paying for tickets, I would buy only one and go in by myself. But since we bought two, I grabbed my dog and carried him onto the track. He became restless within a minute, and I had to lower him down. We then approached another guy who told us that the dog could not go on track. I agreed (not happily, but those are the rules), and my wife went with our dog to the side (of the track) to wait while I went alone on the track. While on track, I saw that a black guy came to her and they were talking. She then waived visibly stressed to me to come back. I came back, and she told me that they are throwing us out and that black super rude guy was raising voice on her. He was threatening her with police, being aggressive and standing too close while intimidating her. To a lady standing alone in a corner of a rooftop!!! Is that behavior accepted at such tourist attraction? To hire such a bully and for him to feel important to yell on a woman while enforcing some silly rule like she is a criminal? I thought that we were in Europe, not in some other 3rd world country where women are not respected.

We went out, asked for a refund, and the guy there denied that.

Hopefully, this helps some dog owners comming here. And that black guy should not be having any contact with the customers. If management cares for their business they will acknowledge this. Its clear they unfortunately don't care for...

This is a must see site in Turin if you have even the slightest interest in art. It consists of "just" 24 works... from the private Agnelli collection. But oh are they sublime !! There are 22 paintings: 6 Canalettos, 2 Bellottos, 7 Matizes, 2 Picassos, a Renoir, a Modigliani, a Guido Reni and 2 pieces from the Modern Futurists school. There are also 2 superb Canova sculptures. Every one of them a masterpiece. Obviously you could spend a long time looking at such a fabulous collection but equally, if time is tight, it's the sort of place that you could do reasonably quickly. It is easily accessed at the end of the metro line about 20 minutes from the city centre. The building that houses the museum is itself a wonderful and clever piece of architecture and sits on top of the old Fiat factory, which is now a shopping centre. As an extra bonus, you can walk out onto the roof to what was once famous as Fiat's test track, complete with banked curves...

The Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, perched atop the Lingotto and designed by Renzo Piano, is home to 25 masterpieces donated by the Agnelli family.

This museum offers an exquisite journey through art history, featuring 18th-century Venetian works, neoclassical plaster casts by Canova, and iconic pieces by Manet and Renoir. The collection is further enhanced by futurist canvases from Giacomo Balla and cubist works by Picasso and Gino Severini, along with vibrant pieces by Amedeo Modigliani and Henri Matisse.

Currently, the museum showcases "Arrivare in tempo," a major exhibition on Sicilian artist Salvo, exploring his unique evolution from conceptual work in Arte Povera to his later focus on painting. This retrospective examines themes like repetition and the relationship between language and art.

With its mix of historical and contemporary art, the Pinacoteca is a must-visit...
