Abstract
The palace of the University of Torino was constructed under the design and direct intervention of major Baroque architects. In particular, the rich stucco decorations on the courtyard walls and on the portico are attributed to Filippo Juvarra. During the recent restoration of the external surfaces of the Palace,  research has been carried out on the materials employed for the stuccos. The results of the scientific analyses have been complemented by historical research, in particular by the documents found in the Historical Archives of the University, which report the payments made for materials and craftmen involved in the construction of the building.

Keywords
Baroque stucco, stucco marble, stucco decorations, stucco characterization.
