Palaces, relics and masterpieces: the programme in detail
The tour begins with priority entry to Palazzo Reale of Turin, the official residence of the Savoy dynasty from the 17th century until Italian unification. The state rooms unfold one after another in all their magnificence: frescoed ceilings, period furnishings and art collections that recount the refined taste of one of Europe's most influential royal families.
The guide accompanies the group through the most significant spaces of the palace, explaining the historical context and the architectural details that often escape the untrained eye. Every room has its story, every object its precise meaning in the Savoy court ceremonial.
The second part of the tour moves to the Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista, a Renaissance jewel that holds one of Christianity's most mysterious relics, the Sacra Sindone. The visit also includes the Cappella della Sindone, a Baroque masterpiece by Guarino Guarini, a place of rare beauty and spiritual depth.
