Designed by the architect Eugenio Corte and the engineer Giovanni Canova, the Cinema Lux was inaugurated in 1934 as Cinema Rex and, with its 1 573 seats, was the largest and most modern cinema in Turin. Renamed Dux in honour of Benito Mussolini in 1942, it assumed the current name Lux in 1945, at the fall of fascism. After more than seventy years of almost uninterrupted service, in 2004 it was the subject of a careful but radical restructuring, which saw the creation of three cinemas and a restaurant area.
