Venaria Reale

Venaria Reale displays grand columns, symmetrical proportions, and formal gardens that define its neoclassical architecture, extending across multiple levels in the landscape of Colorno.

The palace construction, which began in 1750 under architect Ennemond Alexandre Petitot, transformed a former hunting lodge into a refined residence for the House of Savoy.

The palace serves as a venue for art exhibitions, cultural programs, and educational activities that highlight the architectural heritage of northern Italian residences.

Visitors can explore the restored halls, gardens, and exhibitions through guided tours that depart regularly from the main entrance throughout operating hours.

The palace demonstrates the direct influence of French architectural principles on Italian design, visible in the arrangement of indoor spaces and outdoor terraces.
