A short History
In 1915, the emerging Fiat company established its automobile manufacturing plant on the grounds of the former Robilant family estate, naming it Fiat Lingotto. This became Fiat’s official plant, though the facility wasn’t fully completed until 1922. The factory swiftly transformed the area from a rural village into a working-class neighborhood. Over its operational years, the Lingotto plant produced numerous car models, including the Torpedo, Balilla, Topolino, and Fiat 1100. The plant ceased production in 1982, with the final model being the first series of the 1979 Lancia Delta. A famous scene from the 1969 film “The Italian Job” featured the iconic test track located on the roof of the Lingotto plant, which today still exists under a panoramic glass dome.
In 1985, architect Renzo Piano led a renovation project, offering a compelling vision that honored the building’s historical significance. Just as the factory had symbolized the city’s industrial development in the 1920s, by the 1990s it became a symbol of the advanced tertiary sector, embodying a forward-looking spirit.
