Palazzo Ottolenghi e Museo del Risorgimento
Benedetto Alfieri remodelled this Baroque palace on Corso Alfieri in the 1750s, and it now houses the Museo del Risorgimento, with battle paintings, weapons and memorabilia of Italian unification. A 1943 air-raid shelter lies beneath the building, and in summer the courtyard becomes an open-air cinema.
