AM Club | Subscriber Thursdays

At the Reggia di Venaria, the Giovedì dell'Abbonato (Subscriber Thursdays) continue with special visits to the Reggia with moments of discovery and in-depth study led by the officials of the Consortium of the Royal Residences of Savoy, experts in the historical-artistic heritage, to discover the secrets of a work, a restoration or a new layout.

Thursday 12 March, Paolo Palumbo (Study and Research Centre) and Tomaso Ricardi of Netro (External Relations and Documentation) tell: Hunting and war at the Venaria Reale

As well as a place of loisir and entertainment, the Reggia di Venaria was also a place of important presence of soldiers and soldiers. The visit will analyse the close link between hunting, the main activity of the court at Venaria, and the vocation for war of the Savoy dynasty, with the re-enactment of one of the great Savoy victories, through the commentary of the grandiose painting of the Battle of Guastalla in 1734, and finally, the decline of the Reggia di Venaria as a Royal Savoy Residence, which began with the Napoleonic occupation in 1798 and culminated in the 19th century, when it became the seat of the French, Piedmontese and Italian armies.
