Parco naturale di Stupinigi, Regional park in Turin, Italy.
Parco naturale di Stupinigi is a protected regional park south of Turin featuring woodlands, wetland areas, and cultivated fields. Two rivers flow through the landscape, creating varied habitats and distinct waterscapes.
A duke from the Savoy family established this area as his personal hunting reserve during the 16th century, reshaping the land's purpose. The continuation of this noble use shaped the park's character over the following centuries.
This place has long held importance as a hunting ground and retreat for ruling families, shaping how people understand it today. Visitors can walk the same pathways that nobles once used for leisure and sport.
The site offers marked walking trails at different difficulty levels, from brief strolls to longer day hikes. Sturdy footwear is recommended, especially in damper areas and after rainfall.
One river meanders in broad curves across the landscape while the other flows in straight lines, giving the park two contrasting water personalities. Natural springs and fountainheads throughout the area reveal the underground water sources that sustain the whole ecosystem.
