The museum in Torino will benefit from the experience acquired by Intesa Sanpaolo with the museums where the Bank has been displaying its huge artistic heritage standing out for the great richness and variety due to its 30,000 artworks, from archaeological finds to contemporary art. In 2019 the museums in Milano, Napoli and Vicenza were visited by over 500,000 people, with educational activities involving 84,000 children and several initiatives for special public (disabled people, people living in difficult contexts, foreign communities).
