During the stay we propose an itinerary to discover the contemporary art visiting the main foundations and private art galleries. Turin and Piedmont are considerated from time immemorial among the most interesting workshop of contemporary art in Italy; in effect here were born some among the most inportant artistic avant-gardes, for instance we mention the "Arte Povera" that stands out.  Turin is the centre of the Italian artistic unrest and remarquable efforts have been done during these years to encourage the activities of many young artists. In the Piedmont region have seat also some of the most famous museums of contemporary art in Italy, for instance the Museum of Rivoli's Castle, a Savoy Royal Residence designed by Filippo Juvarra.  The Museum is well-known for its magnificent permanent exhibition illustrating the crucial periods of the development of the contemporary art and for the temporary exhibits of international level.The foundations distributed in the PIedmont territory are extremely important: the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, Merz Foundation, Spinola Banna Foundation and last but not least "Cittadellarte” workshop of Pistoletto Foundation.All these foundations support and promote all efforts for the contemporary art and culture.  CUBE can provide a unique private tour of these foundations and to private art galleries accompanied by polyglott private and professional guides.
