Invito a Palazzo offers free tours of bank buildings in Rome.

The 15th edition of Invito a Palazzo offers the public a glimpse inside the head offices of a variety of Italy’s banks, free of charge, on Saturday 1 October.

The 96 buildings on show in 50 cities across the country represent a wide variety of architectural styles, from the mediaeval and baroque to contemporary, and it will be also possible to see their gardens, cellars, archives, works of art, and libraries.

This year eight banks in six Roman buildings open their doors – see list below.
