🎧  Listen to Introduction

In 1562, Duke Emmanuel-Philibert of Savoy moved the capital to Turin, where he began a series of massive building projects (continued by his successors) to demonstrate the ruling family’s power. Designed and decorated by the most outstanding architects and artists of the day, this remarkable complex radiates from the Royal Palace in the “Commandment District” of Turin to the surrounding countryside and includes many country residences and hunting lodges.
