The President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Capasso intervened with the Assessor Alfieri, the Assessor Perone and other authorities at the inauguration of the restored Palazzo Madama. The architect Diego Ghettello and his team from the Royal Theatre have scrupulously rebuilt the hall of Palazzo Madama which in itself contains all the history of the city of Turin: from Porta Romana, in Medieval times it transformed into a fort; in 1400 it became the Castle of the Acaya Princes, while in the 19^th century Carlo Alberto added the Royal Art Gallery and the first Senate of the Kingdom.

“It is an emotional historical moment - President Capasso stated - because it is a trip in the history which constituted the foundation for the future of Italy, based on its Unification.”
