The "Royal Venaria" of Amedeo di Castellamonte. In 1659 the grandiose project of the Duke Carlo Emanuele II came true by building a fixed abode for hunting (lett. Venatorial) in order to celebrate through the rituals of hunting the magnificence of the Duke. So he built this Palace as a design of the "delitie" of the 17th century and as a crown of Turin the capital. The work of Castellamonte, which began in 1659 and was ended in 1675, was an "unicum" and consisted of a Village, Royal Palace and Gardens and extended for an axis of about 2 Km. The Village had in the center a quadrioval square which reproduced the "Collar of the order of Annunziata". The Royal Palace included two courts and had in the center the "Diana Room". Towards south we can find the stables, kennels, and at west the orangerie, the "upper park of the deers" and, in front of the Village the Chapel of S.Rocco.
