Art Nouveau in Turin, Italy
Turin (Torino), the first capital of unified Italy, holds a distinguished place in the story of Art Nouveau, or Stile Liberty as it is known in Italy.
Unlike the more floral Art Nouveau of France or the Secessionist geometry of Vienna, Turin’s take on the style is characterized by a fusion of sinuous ornamentation, structural rationalism, and refined craftsmanship.
Art Nouveau in Turin was more than an architectural style—it was a cultural movement. It married artistry with industrial progress, reshaping the city with a new visual language that emphasized beauty, nature, and craftsmanship. Its legacy remains visible today in the urban fabric, museum collections, and continued reverence for figures like Pietro Fenoglio, whose designs helped make Turin one of the capitals of Italian Art Nouveau.
