In particular, the Summit will take place at Cavallerizza Reale, one of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy that have been registered in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997.

Cavallerizza Reale is a UNESCO World Heritage: the historic royal riding grounds were part  of an 1668 urban project by the Duke of Savoy, Carlo Emanuele II. 

The two buildings are part  of the vast “control zone” that extends from the new Royal palace arm in via XX Settembre remittances near Via Rossini, including the royal palace itself, the Armory and the Royal Library, the Secretariats (now Prefecture), the Archives, the Royal Theatre, the Mint (now the State Police), the stables.
It was built as a military academy for senior officers from the Royal  House of Savoy. It is an architectural and urban complex designed by Amedeo di Castellamonte in 1673 and  completed, adapting to changing needs, by Filippo Juvarra, Benedetto Alfieri, Ernesto Melano,  Carlo Mosca.

It took several years for the Cavallerizza Reale to be finally erected, and opened  in 1741. The sleeves of the Academy, inaugurated in 1680 for the education of young Italian noble, and foreigners and the pages of the court, looking out onto a large courtyard gallery with paired columns, damaged in 1943 and then destroyed to build the new Teatro Regio. 
Recently, the Cavallerizza Reale was restored, and re-purposed to serve the Teatro Stabile of Turin and  as a stage for theatre and movie production. The complex, partly freed from improper use and is now used as an exhibition and congress center. Every day, students, artists and associations  organise yoga, theatre, dance and music sessions, debates, concerts and parties.
