The Palazzo Chiablese in Turin serves as the headquarters for the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Metropolitan City of Torino. A public tour route to the "Apartment of the Duke of Chiablese" opened in 2021 following restoration work conducted in 2019–2020. The apartment belonged to Benedetto Maurizio of Savoy, Duke of Chiablese. Highlights include the Alfieri Gallery with restored gilded stucco decorations attributed to Michele Antonio Rapous, and the Alcove Room, which features an extraordinary double-body desk with ivory and mother-of-pearl inlay by Savoy court cabinetmaker Pietro Piffetti.
