Turin-Aeritalia Airport (it|Aeroporto di Torino-Aeritalia,)[1] also known as Edoardo Agnelli Airport, built in 1916, is the historical airport of Turin in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. It is located off Corso Marche, some 5km (03miles) to the west of the city centre.
Commercial flights moved to Turin Caselle Airport in 1953 and today Torino-Aeritalia is used for tourist flights and as a flying school, both for gliding and powered flight. There is also a helipad for the use of air ambulances.
One of the airport's buildings was redesigned in 1958 by the Torinese architect Carlo Mollino.
