Until seeing this museum, I had put visiting Risorgimento ( meaning the battle to unite all of Italian lands to become a country ) museums on the no-go list. I figured if I wanted to learn about it, I would eventually read about it on Wikipedia ( which I think I did and can’t remember what I read ). I also had seen bits and pieces about it in other non- Risorgimento museums. This museum was supposed to be a real palace with some very impressive rooms. So we went. There were less rooms than I even saw online of impressive rooms. Not bad, but in that regard could have been better. Maybe they did not include all rooms on the tour. But I wasn’t terribly disappointed, ultimately, because I surprisingly became fascinated with the actual story of Italy’s birth, which was well documented. I love history. So I guess I should not have been surprised. If you are a history buff, this may be your cup of tea. If not, it’s a nice building, with a few impressive rooms including the very impressive Hall of the The Chamber of Deputies of the Subalpine Parliament. If you don’t know what that is, don’t feel bad. Neither did I. It was the upper house of the legislature of the Kingdom of Sardinia. I forgot this until I just looked it up. I probably forgot it 10 minutes after I read it, but all the stuff I learned while I was there was fun and informative at the moment. And I fully comprehended the process of the evolution of the state of Italy. Anyway, it‘s close to most everything else you want to see in Turin and it’s definitely worth a gander if you have 2 or 3 days there.

A magnificent museum which brilliantly explains the Risorgimento in a building where so much of it happened. It is remarkable how much stuff has survived, particularly the cutting satire of many of the posters and pamphlets. For the history buff you could easily spend a whole day here, and it sheds light on a part of European history which for non-Italians is usually pretty hazy. It certainly helps to be able to read Italian - and in the early sections, French. A few video presentations in English, too. This is a museum where you have to follow the historical sequence, though you can of course skip bits which interest you less.

The one housed inside Palazzo Carignano in Turin is the oldest and most important museum dedicated to the Risorgimento in Italy. The exhibition is truly immense and includes official documents, manuscripts, paintings (mostly portraits or battle scenes), weapons, uniforms and banners. Among the most interesting things is certainly the room of the first Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy, visible from several points through the windows but not accessible inside. Entrance ticket €10, free with the subscription card to the museums of Piedmont and Lombardy. A museum truly rich in works and testimonies that will satisfy even the visitors most interested in the events of the Italian Risorgimento. The complete visit takes on average a couple of hours.

We ended up at the museum by chance because we came across women dressed in typical 19th century clothing ready to perform period dances in room 30 of the museum. The dance started at 3pm. We therefore had plenty of time to take a tour of the museum (included in the ticket price) where a lot of interesting material was on display. Garibaldi, Cavour, extraordinary collections of a historical period that shaped Italy. And then the first Italian Parliament!!!! Thrilling. Stunning is an understatement. The only flaw was the welcome to see the fateful ballet....many people, in my opinion too many for the small room, few chairs and for this reason great difficulty for a disabled person to sit. I avoid reporting the staff's comments when I asked for help with a chair. Small suggestion... Dear museum organized to accommodate disabled people. Not everyone has wheelchairs and they have the right like everyone else to enjoy a good show!!!!!

Museum full of maps, artistic materials and historial documents, I'm sure most of them interesting and of great value, but without any didactical comments, chronograms or explanations.
Difficult to appreciate if you are an Italian who knows the history of your country from school but impossible for the average European who wants to know about Italy or for school groups.
It needs modernization and also comparing with what was happening in other European countries at the time to illustrate and get a wide view of the period.

This museum tells the story of the unification of the various states on the Italian peninsula and their liberation from foreign domination.
The items on display are arranged mostly chronologically, with each successive room presenting a newer episode in the struggles. Towards the end of the sequence of rooms are a few which present information thematically.
There is a lot to take in at this museum - particularly for an overseas tourist. But that’s ok, because much of it was in Italian and inaccessible to me.
The summary cards in English (one for each room) contained a good amount of information about the exhibits in the room - and not too much. The short videos on screens dotted through the museum all had English subtitles. Unlike some other reviewers, who felt that the wider European context was missing, I felt that it was well integrated into the story.
My review may reflect my own enthusiasm for 19th century European history, as much as the museum itself, but I found it enthralling.

Since 1938 it has been housed in the main floor of Palazzo Carignano. Completely redone in 2011, it has a modern character while brilliantly telling our Risorgimento history: from the great revolutions of the eighteenth century to the First World War. The route also includes the two magnificent original parliamentary halls: the Chamber of Deputies of the Subalpine Parliament from 1848 and the majestic Hall of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy from 1864, with the vaults painted by Francesco Gonin. Worth the visit. Entrance included in the Torino Card

This museum takes a very dramatic and interesting story, then turns it into a boring and uninformative experience. The actual events of the risorgimento and what gave rise to them are drowned beneath a mass of other things with videos on the whole sweep of european history from the end of the middle ages. There are hundreds of small pictures and exhibits, but with only small labels and no clear explanation of what they represent. It needs a thorough reorganisation. Perhaps a look at the Museo dello Sbarco in Catania would help improve it.

Museo Nazionale del Resurgimiento is located in the Carignano Palace, in the center of Torino, the main city in Piedmont. It is the museum, where you can learn about the modern history of Italy and the creation of the modern state. Pitifully, almost all information is only in Italian language and there are a lot of individual objects. The best part for understanding something (If you are not Italian) is seeing some of the videos. So, you can learn a lot about the last centuries of the country, but only seeing videos (it can be improved). Also, the two most interesting rooms are the old parliament of Torino (very nice) and the big paintings of the end of the exposition (also very beautiful).

A visit to the National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento is certainly recommended to everyone. The visit allows you to admire both the halls of the ancient palace and the historical collections.
Visit time: minimum 1 hour.
Positive notes:
Reception and ticketing staff very courteous and smiling.
To be improved:
- Entrance signs;
- Bathrooms available to visitors;
- Bookshop;
- Absent cafeteria - to be created.
