The house of two names

Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur is a historical residence in the affluent Cit Turin district. The architect Pietro Fenoglio designed it as his private home in 1902. It is a fine example of the so-called Liberty style. After a few years, Fenoglio sold it to Lafleur, a French businessman. The house survived the bombing of Turin during World War II and was carefully restored to its former splendour in the 1990s to accommodate residences and offices.
