Pinacoteca dell'Accademia Albertina (Accademia Albertina's Picture-gallery)

At the number 6 of the street with the same name, it was instituted in 1678 the Accademia Albertina and it was placed in the actual seat by the king Carlo Alberto.

Since 1837 it hosts, on the first floor, the picture-gallery, including paintings and sculptures works and the important core of sixty cartoons by Gaudenzio Ferrari and his school, donated by Carlo Alberto in 1832 and which constitute a workshop's graphical bottom that has no equals in the world.
