La Bizzarrìa, Hunting lodge in Druento, Italy

La Bizzarrìa is a hunting lodge in Druento with a triangular plan, three cylindrical towers at its corners and a hexagonal central room once repeated over three levels. A double semicircular stair leads to the terrace, and the interior and exterior carry ramage and trompe-l'œil frescoes. It was built in 1861-1862 for Vittorio Emanuele II.

The lodge was built between 1860 and 1863 by architect Leopoldo Galli as part of King Vittorio Emanuele II's major renovations of the Royal Estate of La Mandria. It was constructed during a period when the royal family was modernizing and expanding its properties in the Piedmont region.

The structure reflects royal hunting traditions of the 19th century and how aristocratic families designed their recreational retreats. The folk-style decorative paintings on its walls give visitors a sense of the visual tastes that shaped such country estates.

The lodge sits within the Royal Estate of La Mandria grounds and is maintained periodically by park authorities. Visitors should check accessibility and current conditions before visiting, as restoration work is ongoing.

The 1975–1981 restoration by architects Roberto Gabetti and Aimaro Isola kept the central void opened by the collapse of the upper vault, placing a floor on the rebuilt vault and a transparent ceiling above it. Two vaults were left unbuilt, marked by polygonal rings of mirror on light panels, so the light produces kaleidoscope effects.
