Invito a palazzo offers tours of Italian bank buildings

The 13th edition of Invito a palazzo offers the public a peek inside the buildings housing Italy's various banks on Saturday 4 October.

The buildings on show in 45 cities across Italy represent a wide variety of architectural styles, from the mediaeval to Baroque to contemporary, and it will be possible to see their gardens, cellars, archives, works of art, and libraries.

This year ten banks in Lazio open their doors – nine in Rome and one in Frosinone – see list below.

Guided tours in Italian and English take place between 10.00 and 19.00. For more information, tel. 066767400 or see website.
