There are buildings that preserve history in their stones and others that keep it in their papers. Palazzo Madama belongs to both kinds. Its architecture, grown through additions, fractures and transformations, still bears the traces of the decumanus gate of Augusta Taurinorum, the medieval castle, the residence of the Madame Reali, the institutions that were housed there, and the museum that now inhabits it. Alongside this visible memory there exists a more discreet one, entrusted for centuries to registers, accounts and inventories: writings born to administer the present that have become, over time, indispensable tools for interrogating the past.
The volume presented here gathers and studies an exceptional documentary heritage, spread over more than six centuries, from the accounts of the late thirteenth century to the inventory of 1929.
