Sanpaolo Palace In Palermo

The Intesa Sanpaolo Skyscraper is one of the most fascinating symbols of modern Turin. Strategically located just steps from Porta Susa station, this imposing 166-meter-tall building redefines the city skyline, combining futuristic architecture with exceptional environmental sustainability. Designed by Renzo Piano's studio, the structure immediately captivates with its enormous windows and technological double skin, designed to optimize natural lighting and energy consumption. The true gem, however, lies on the uppermost floors (from the 35th to the 38th), where a spectacular bioclimatic greenhouse with trees and plants is located, flanked by a lounge bar and a panoramic restaurant. The view from up here is breathtaking, spanning the entire city of Turin to the surrounding Alps. The auditorium at the base is also beautiful, as are the permeability of the outdoor public spaces that connect the building to the surrounding urban fabric. A must-see for both tourists and Turin residents who want to discover a masterpiece of contemporary bio-architecture. Highly recommended!

Excellent welcome at Corso Bolzano, just outside the enormous Porta Sousa train station in Turin. Reasonable prices and very friendly service! A great introduction to Italy.

A wonderful experience at altitude. The lounge bar is refined and elegant.

A beautiful place with a view of all of Turin and the Alps, welcoming staff, and a delicious aperitif.

Close to home, with a large front garden, it's a popular destination for office workers both summer and winter. It also features an elegant restaurant, and the amphitheater often hosts important cultural conferences or performances. Built by Renzo Piano, it has a garden in the background, featuring a plaque dedicated to Lidia Poët (the first woman to be admitted to the Italian Bar Association). It's named after Nicola Grosa, an Italian partisan and anti-fascist. The green space is located in front of the Courthouse.

Elegant place to spend the afternoon or early evening

Beautiful view of the clouds and the baroque architecture of Turin. Some reservations, however, about the service and the quality of the cocktail mixology. The price isn't justified by the very mass-produced quality and lack of attention to specific requests.

Fascinating with its grandeur but at the same time light to the eye

Certainly one of the new symbols of the Turin skyline

A truly unique experience, it's the highest point on a building from which to look out over Turin. The view is breathtaking. I had an evening aperitif there on a Sunday in May (37th floor). The top three floors are entirely glass-enclosed and dedicated to this experience (the 35th floor has a restaurant with a botanical garden). It must be said that the prices are commendable for such an extraordinary opportunity. Enjoy!
