Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli (Giovanni and Marella Agnelli Art Gallery), Turin

The Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli (Giovanni and Marella Agnelli Art Gallery) is an art gallery in Turin. It opened in 2002 on the top floor of the Lingotto complex (the headquarters of the Italian auto giant Fiat founded in 1899 by Giovanni Agnelli), 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.

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, Picasso and Modigliani. The gallery also puts on temporary modern art exhibitions.
