Palazzo Gualino
The Palazzo Gualino is an office building in Turin, Italy built in 1928–30 for the entrepreneur Riccardo Gualino by the architects Gino Levi-Montalcini and Giuseppe Pagano.
It is an important example of early Italian rationalist architecture.

A project to convert the office building into high-end apartments was begun in 2012, but was abandoned in
2015.
