palace of Stupinigi.
The house hunting is a work of Philip Stupinigi Juvarra, part of the Savoy residences in Piedmont, declared World Heritage by UNESCO. It is situated in the area of Stupinigi (town of Nicholasville), the south-western outskirts of Turin History [edit] The territory defined in the Middle Ages Suppunicum [1] already had a small castle, still visible to the east of the building, which once defended the town of Moncalieri: it had possession of the Savoy-Achaia, a cadet branch of the dynasty, but came under the ownership of Amadeus VIII of Savoy, died when the last of Achaia in 1418. Amedeo VIII left him in a property of the Marquis Pallavicini family of Zibello in 1439, but went back Savoia Emanuele Filiberto in possession when he claimed possession in 1564. By the will of the duke, the castle and the adjacent lands were left to the Order Maurice. As the Grand Master was the leader of the House of Savoy, Stupinigi was managed directly by them, and over the years the lands adjacent to the castle had become an ideal place for the hunting of the Dukes. It was Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy to yearn for the transformation of the complex in a building worthy of the new real figure. It was April 1729, and the project was entrusted to Philip Juvarra. But it was during the reign of Carlo Emanuele III, the building that saw the birth in 1731 was already opened with the first hunt. But the building was extended during the reign of Carlo Emanuele III and Victor Amadeus III with the help of other architects, including Prunotto, Bo and Alfieri. In 1740 two wings were added, the teams host farm and remittances. Even Napoleon Bonaparte stayed there from May 5 to May 16, 1805, before heading to Milan to wear the Iron Crown. Here he discussed with the major political offices in Turin, welcoming the mayor, the judiciary and the clergy, headed by Cardinal (read more wikipedia:Palazzina di Stupinigi)
