Cavallerizza

On 23rd May the group Assemblea Cavallerizza 14:45 occupies Cavallerizza Reale with the aim of stopping the sale of what is actually considered a “common good” and actively contributing to its redevelopment and reuse. The building, designed by architect Benedetto Alfieri to perform equestrian exercises, in 1997 was included in the list of Unesco World Heritage and in 2007 was given by the State to Comune di Torino and partly to Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (Deposit and loan fund). In 2010, Città di Torino signs an agreement with Cartolarizzazione Città di Torino to sell the complex, but no offers are received. In December, the new Aula Magna of the University, designed by Agostino Magnaghi, Antonio De La Pierre, Antonio Presicce, Diego Ierardi, is opened in the former Maneggio Chiablese.
