View of the historic Galleria Subalpina shopping gallery in the city centre of Turin, with shops, cinema and cafè, Piedmont, Italy
The Galleria dell'Industria Subalpina (simply known as Galleria Subalpina) is a historic building in Turin that houses many commercial activities. Designed by Pietro Carrera in 1873, the works started on 25 June of the same year and the gallery was inaugurated on 30 December 1874. It owes its name to the Bank of Subalpine Industry, which assumed the responsibility for the construction. The structure represents the typical nineteenth-century model of urban shopping area inspired by the typical Parisian "passages", intended for bourgeois recreation.
