The Seat
The seat of the Chamber of Deputies is the Palazzo Montecitorio, where it has met since 1871, shortly after the capital of the Kingdom of Italy was moved to Rome.
The previous seat of the Chamber of Deputies of the Kingdom of Italy was the Palazzo Carignano in Torino (1861–1865) and the Palazzo Vecchio in Firenze (1865–1871). During the fascist regime, from 1939 to 1943, the Chamber of Deputies was abolished and replaced by the Chamber of Fasci and Corporations.

Famous quotes containing the word seat:
“Off Highway 106
At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”

“Oh, I never use a seat belt. I don’t believe in gravity.”
—John Guare (b. 1938)
