Category: Buildings of historical importance

Savigliano

Built around the 1620’s, it is a beautiful Baroque-style structure designed by the architect Ercole Negri di Sanfront commissioned by Count Giusto Amedeo Taffini, governor of the city and of the province. At the end of the 1800’s, the Taffini family died off and the building became the property of the Regio Istituto delle Rosine (Royal Institute of the Rosine) which turned it into a school for girls in need. In 1976, it was acquired by the Cassa di Risparmio (Savings Bank) di Savigliano, which established its main seat there. The building’s structure is rather singular: the exterior is severe and the interior has rounded arches supported by slender columns facing a courtyard. The main rooms are magnificently decorated and the Aula Regia (Royal Hall) is enhanced by a fresco cycle that depicts the military feats of Vittorio Amedeo I.
