Car factory transformed into Europe's largest hanging garden

A new urban oasis is being built on top of Lingotto, the iconic Renzo Piano-designed factory in Turin. The modernist complex is being transformed into a public space under the direction of Turin architect Benedetto Camerana and botanist Cristiana Ruspa.

The park, called La Pista 500, will enhance the city’s biodiversity with 40 000 plants. In addition to the green space on the roof of the former factory, it will also house an exhibition space for the Fiat family foundation.
