Detail InformationEdit

The Villa della Regina is a palace in the city of Turin, Italy. It was originally built by the House of Savoy in the 17th century. The original structure was designed in early 1615 by the Italian soldier, architect and military engineer, Ascanio Vitozzi. He died in 1615 and the project was passed over to his collaborators, father and son Carlo and Amedeo di Castellamonte. The original building was built for the Maurice of Savoy during the reign of his brother Victor Amadeus I, Duke of Savoy. The property was built as a private villa with its own vineyard. In 1637 Cardinal Maurice lost his brother and his sister in law Christine Marie of France became Regent of Savoy for her young son.
Cardinal Maurice and his brother the Prince of Carignano opposed the Regency and fled to Spain. The property was owned by Maurice who died there in 1657 and willed it to his wife Louise Christine of Savoy who also died there in 1692. At the death of Louise Christine, it passed to Anne Marie d’Orléans, niece of Louis XIV of France[1] wife Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy in 1684. Inside there are frescoes and paintings by Giovanni Battista Crosato, Daniel Seyter and Corrado Giaquinto in the main room, grotesques of Filippo Minei and paintings by the brothers Domenico and Giuseppe Valeriani in the near rooms; there are also precious Chinese Cabinets in lacquer and golden wood.
In the park there is the Pavilion of the Solinghi, pagoda building in which the Academy of the Solinghi used to meet; it was a group of intellectuals founded by the Cardinal Maurice. The Villa was later used by the Spanish Queen of Sardinia Maria Antonietta Ferdinanda.[3] It remained the property of the House of Savoy till 1868 when it was donated by Victor Emmanuel II of Italy to the Institute of the Army’s Daughters and in 1994 it was given to the State domain. Damaged in the Second World War, it is today open to the public in order to fund its maintenance.
