Invito a Palazzo offers free tours of bank buildings.

The 14th edition of Invito a Palazzo offers the public a glimpse inside the head offices of a variety of Italy's banks on Saturday 3 October.

The 108 buildings on show in 55 cities across the country represent a wide variety of architectural styles, from the mediaeval and baroque to contemporary, and it will be also possible to see their gardens, cellars, archives, works of art, and libraries.

This year nine banks in Rome open their doors – see list below.

Guided tours in Italian and English take place between 10.00 and 19.00. For more information, tel. 066767400 or see the
