Palace and Gardens of the
Venaria Reale
During the 120 years it was built, the Palace was designed, expanded, and modified by 4 brilliant architects who have given us this Theatre of Magnificence.
Born as a direct rival to Versailles, the Palace of Venaria has experienced, over the centuries, periods of great splendor and deep decay, only to rise again from its ruins and return to its 18th-century glory through a colossal restoration effort lasting 10 years and involving over 1,000 professionals.
We will discover the thousand-year history of the Savoy Dynasty, visit rooms rich in atmosphere and royalty, and share the daily life of courtiers through the installations of Peter Greenaway.
