Beschrijving
Head to the outskirts of Turin and discover the Royal Palace of Venaria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire this magnificent example of Baroque art in the beautiful setting of its namesake village and surrounded by stunning French-style gardens.
Designed by Amedeo di Castellamonte and built in 1675 as a base for Charles Emmanuel II's hunting expeditions, the Royal Palace of Venaria lies on the northwestern outskirts of Turin.
The Baroque palace and the formal French gardens fell into disuse at the end of the 18th century, were converted into military barracks and training grounds during Napoleonic domination and belonged to the Italian military until 1978. Placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997, the palace was renovated and opened to the public in 2007.
Enter with your day ticket, accompanied by the music of Brian Eno, to a display that unfolds in the 17th century spaces of the Hall of Diana, the elegant Great Gallery, and the solemn Church of St. Hubert.
The 18th-century architectural masterpieces by Filippo Juvarra and their sumptuous stucco decorations form the background for Peopling the Palaces at Venaria Reale, a series of multimedia installations on court life by British film director Peter Greenaway.
You’ll have breathtaking views of the gardens, particularly the Terrace of the Queen near the Upper Park. The permanent exhibition ends with a section called Lights and Shadows: Restoration in Progress.
The display provides an overview of the Palace’s history over the last 2 centuries. This includes the military phase and the subsequent decay, the ensuing cultural debate on the recovery and the use of the complex, the restoration projects and the rebirth during the late 1990s with the ambitious La Venaria Reale Project. This was the largest project ever undertaken in Europe for the recovery of cultural heritage, leading to the grand opening in 2007.
You'll find additional information in the Carriage Court, where descriptions of the restoration techniques, the history and theory of restoration, and the experimental materials developed and used for this project are available.
