The Main Entrance to the Exposition was situated at the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Corso Cairoli. The main rectangular body of the entrance was composed of a white colonnade, surmounted by baroque arches and two pinnacles. As shown by the the two eagles at the top of the pinnacles, this entrance was a tribute to the Royal Family of Turin, the House of Savoy.
