The palace of Venaria Reale is one of the Savoy Residences part of the UNESCO serial site registered on the World Heritage List since 1997.
The palace of Venarìa was designed by the architect Amedeo di Castellamonte.
It was commissioned by Duke Carlo Emanuele II who intended to make it the base for hunting on the hilly Turin hills. The same name in Latin as the palace, Venatio Regia, derives from the term venaccia.
The village was joined by many houses and palaces of workers and ordinary citizens who wanted to live near the palace, until Venaria Reale became an independent municipality in the province of Turin.
The choice of the site, at the foot of the Lanzo Valleys, was favored by the proximity of the extensive forests of the Gran Paese, rich in game: a territory that extends for a hundred kilometers to the alpine mountains, reaching south and east in close proximity of the capital.
In 2018 it registered 1 048 834 visitors, making it the seventh most visited Italian state museum site, while in 2017, ten years after the inauguration of the tourist site, the Michelin Guide has assigned to the palace of Venaria the coveted third star .
