See Roof Garden on Iconic Lingotto Factory, Turin, Italy
Lingotto building once housed a car factory built by Italian automotive company Fiat. On the roof was a test track where since 1923 gasoline-powered FIAT cars zipped around in circles after rising up through five floors of the factory. In 2022 the architecture firm Benedetto Camerana converted the track into a garden.
The Fiat factories in Turin (the Lingotto) were built in the years 1910-1920 by the architect Giacomo Matté-Trucco (1869-1934), they included a famous test track on the roof of more than a kilometer in length long. Two ramps to the south and north of the factory gave cars access to the track.
The transformation of all the buildings into a shopping centre, offices, hotels and congress center was entrusted to the architect Renzo Piano. He also built a heliport and a building (l'Ecrin) to house the Agnelli family art gallery.
