il lingotto - a track on the roof in 1923




Lingotto is a district of Turin, Italy, and the location of the Lingotto building in Via Nizza. This building once housed an automobile factory built by Fiat.

the track for cars on the roof of the lingotto





Construction started in 1916 and the building opened in 1923.
 The design (by young architect Matté Trucco) was unusual 
in that it had five floors, with raw materials going in at
 the ground floor, and cars built on a line that went up 
through the building. Finished cars emerged at rooftop 
level to go onto the test track

It was the largest car factory in the world
 at that time. 

For its time, the Lingotto building was avant-garde, 
influential and impressive - 

Le Corbusier called it "one of the most impressive 
sights in industry", and "a guideline for town planning". 


80 different models of car were produced there 
in its lifetime, including the Fiat Topolino of 1936
