stands on a street in central Turin, Via San Carlo in the past until 1849, when the City Council decided to dedicate it to Vittorio Alfieri that lived there, remembered with a plaque on the facade of his house, the first right coming from the Piazza San Carlo. Palace Cheats Levaldigi, always associated with evil traditions, is an imposing building erected in 1673 to designs by Amedeo Castellamonte. Tricks was a politician with many positions, including that of Minister of Finance, Count of San Michele Mondovi, and baron of Levaldigi general, a princely villa by himself costruita.Il door is beautifully carved in wood, decorated with fruit , flowers, cupids and various simbologie.Quel the most fascinating is the dong in the center of the leaves always perfectly polished, showing the grinning Devil che scruta i passanti.Difficilmente si può dare una motivazione del perché sia ora conosciuto come “Il palazzo della porta del diavolo”, se non per il batacchio, anche se i battenti del portone si spalancano su un palazzo che trabocca di misteri e leggende che ormai si consolidano con il passar del tempo.Nell’anno 1790 nel palazzo, che appartenne per un breve periodo di tempo a Marianna Carolina di Savoia , fu preparata una festa durante il carnevale con orchestrali, danzatrici, artisti; al fondo di una sala era raffigurata una scena infernale, le danzatrici coperte di minuscoli abiti ballavano tra le fiamme, dimenandosi come invasate simboleggiando le anime dannate.Un ricevimento mondano upset by the cry of a dancer, that Emma Cochet, but some suggest the name of Vera Hertz, which slumped stab mortalmente.Le assumptions were many, however, the culprit was never identified, nor the weapon was never ritrovata.Scrisse Alberto Fenoglio, "Almost as a sign of disapproval of the sky for the crime, was unleashed on the city, although it was not the season, an impressive night storm when the rain poured down violently, lightning followed each other almost without interruption and the accompanying thunder the storm with a roar so loud that shook the whole palazzo.La tragedy had sent down a thin layer of frost, of sadness and even fear at all, but it exploded when the great fear was a blinding flash followed immediately by a tremendous roar, roar of broken glass, a breath of cold, violent, that swept the room and turned off all the lights, causing panic and a hurried flight of the guests. "It was not long that some" witnesses "saw a ghost walk, peering vanishing people and then disappear through the walls. Another story cloaked in mystery Levaldigi the walls of the Palace, that the death of an officer during the French domination of 1917.E 'Fenoglio yet to tell the crime: "The biggest, named Du Perril Melchiorre, went Turn to the captain, touched in order to service safety to show him a note containing threats, just received, and ask for an escort that the "covering" protecting his person, as he was to travel with the documents prepared for top secret.Mentre a coach, he ate a quick breakfast. In the street, the coachman impatiently awaiting partire.Dopo was almost an hour to go down to see why the military attardasse.Sulle first told him to wait, because Du Perril was being prepared, then the two soldiers came to tell him that can not find it anywhere. "In the palace seems to be no. "You have not seen the case go to?" The coachman domandarono.Il stunned: "Certainly not, I would have noticed. "" About twenty years after quell'inspiegabile disappearance, some builders, during the execution of works in the building, knocking down a wall were found a cavity in the skeleton of a man tall and strong that he had been buried in feet and held by two low walls laterali.Il skull showed a clean break. It was envisaged the possibility of international intrigue, but it was too much time spent on the case could shed some light. It is said that one night a careless sorcerer's apprentice was not content to rely on the usual friendly spirits, but he went to call the lord of darkness, the devil Satana.Il, disturbed by the invocation, he decided to punish the responsible. In the morning, passersby found the entrance blocked by the heavy door of the building that had appeared out of nowhere, behind which the homeowner was hopelessly trapped. Popular beliefs or mysterious facts without an answer?
In any case, the fact remains that the "gates of Hell" has survived the test of time, wars and remains a work of art 's immense beauty, so that the newspaper, " USA Today, "in a service dedicated to Turin he published some fascinating images.
