Palazzo Chiablese, when seen from the square seems pretty bare, but if you admire it from the Cathedral on the other side of the entrance hall, you'll find both the exterior and the first floor's halls much more glitzy. The ground floor often welcomes beautiful exhibitions of ancient and modern art.
FUN FACT: Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy gave Palazzo Chiablese to his mistress, Beatrice Langosco. The legend says that the Duke would frequently visit her father, who was the Grand Chancellor of the Savoys, to bring him documents to be studied. And while her father studied, the Duke would pass his time with the beautiful Beatrice.
