History and description
Torre Canavese Castle (Italian: Castello di Torre Canavese) is a castle located in Torre Canavese, Piedmont, Italy.
History
According to tradition, the castle was founded in 998 by the second son of Arduin of Ivrea, Guidon, who lived there until 1018, the year he was elected Marquess of Ivrea.
Over the centuries, the castle underwent numerous transformations and modernizations, while preserving original elements such as the tower, the walls surrounding the hilltop, and the chapel. In 1968, the Datrino family purchased the property from the Counts Balbo of Vinadio and transformed it into an antique gallery, which hosted significant exhibitions, including Treasures of the Kremlin in 1993 and Gems and Diamonds in 1994.
