Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli

The Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli is an art gallery in Turin, Italy.[1] It opened in 2002 on the top floor of the Lingotto complex, where a "scrigno" or 450 square-metre steel structure designed by Renzo Piano is raised 34 metres off the test track on the roof of the plant.[2] Its style represents a crystal spaceship, referring back to the original building's futuristic style. Its permanent collection is a selection of paintings and sculptures from Gianni and Marella Agnelli's private collection such as Renoir's Blonde Bather and Manet's La Négresse as well as paintings by Matisse, Canaletto, Tiepolo, Canova, Piscasso and Modigliani, while it also puts on temporary modern art exhibitions.[3][4][5]
