Turin - Via Roma

The Galleria d'Arte Moderna (1942), is one of the finest collections of modern art in Italy. Here can be seen pictures by the Italian artists Modigliani, De Chirico, Carrà, De Pisis and Guttuso, as well as by foreign artists such as Renoir, Utrillo, Paul Klee, Max Ernst, Chagall and others.

At the south end of Via Roma lies the Piazza Carlo Felice, with the Central Station (Stazione di Porta Nuova).

The Piazza San Carlo, a symmetrically designed square half way along, was laid out in 1638. On the south side are the church of Santa Cristina (1637: to the east), with a facade by Juvarra (1718), and the church of San Carlo (1619), with a facade in similar style (1836). In the center of the square stands an imposing equestrian statue of Duke Emmanuel Philibert (1838).
