NOTES: This hunting lodge built on a grand scale was designed by the architect Filippo Juvarra for Vittorio Amedeo II. Work started on the building in 1729 and was completed within two years. The interior decoration of the ballroom was the work of the Venetian painter and stage designer Giambattista Crosato.
