Medieval Castle in Valentino Park, Torino (Turin), Italy
The Medieval Castle at the Valentino Park was built to host the Ancient Art section of the 1884 Turin Expo. Along the Po river and surrounded by walls the richly furnished castle rises above a small cluster of houses and workshop. The buildings and the decorations are faithful copies of 15th century castles and the furniture and the settings came from the Civic Museum of Ancient Art. The idea behind the construction of the village was to offer an artistic and evocative example of the gothic style which characterized the 15th century in Piedmont. This was a century of cultural and economic growth that blossomed under the duchy of Amedeo VIII.
