Before becoming Director of Castello di Rivoli, Francesco Manacorda directed the V-A-C Foundation, Tate Liverpool, and Artissima, and served as Curator at the Barbican Art Gallery. He also taught at the Department of Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal College of Art, London. In 2016, he co-curated the Liverpool Biennial, and in 2018, the 11th Taipei Biennial.






In the heart of Piedmont, a museum that has developed while taking into account the uniqueness of the Baroque building that houses it.
