Collection
From the late 1960s to 2014, the entrepreneur Francesco Federico Cerruti (Genoa, 1922 – Turin, 2015) discreetly built up a collection of works of art, books and furnishings of the highest quality with the painstaking care of a true connoisseur. In 1961, Cerruti bought a piece of land in Rivoli, in Vicolo dei Fiori, behind the Manica Lunga of the Castello di Rivoli - still in ruins at the time - and began the construction of a Provençal-style villa that would be completed in the late 1960s and then partially renovated in the second half of the 1980s.
