The "Little House of Divine Goodness," better known as Cottolengo, is an enormous charity complex in the rather rundown area of Porta Palazzo. It was founded by Canon Giuseppe Benedetto Cottolengo to provide medical help for the sick, poor, orphans and disabled. It was first established at the house 'della Volta Rossa' at no. 19, Via Palazzo, but was transferred here in 1832 and has since been enlarged.
