½ûÂþÌìÌÃ

Palazzo Madama e Casaforte degli Acaja is a palace in Turin, northern Italy. It was the first Senate of the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Kingdom, and takes its traditional name from the embellishments it received under two queens (madama) of the House of Savoy.

The Palazzo Madama houses the Turin City Museum of Ancient Art. Despite its name, it is a large collection of paintings, statues, church ornaments, porcelain, and decorative art, mostly from the late Middle Ages to the 18th century. Turin's museum of ancient art, called Museo dell'Antichità, is located on the grounds of the Palazzo Reale.
