The name itself derives from Latin, Venatio Regia meaning &#8220;Royal Hunt&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe original gardens of the residence are now totally disappeared, since French troops turned them into training grounds. Earlier drawings show an Italian garden with three terraces connected by elaborate stairways and architectural features such as a clock tower in the first court, the fountain of Hercules, a theater and parterres.<br \/>\nRecent works have recreated a park in modern style, exhibiting modern works by Giuseppe Pennone, including a fake 12\u00a0m-high cedar housing the thermic discharges of the palace.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/reggia-venaria-reale-turin\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/reggia-venaria-reale-turin\/?share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-460\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/reggia-venaria-reale-turin\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-460\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/reggia-venaria-reale-turin\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-460\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dearitaly.com\/piedmont\/turin-city\/what-to-see-in-turin\/reggia-venaria-reale-turin\/?share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Reggia di Venaria Reale is a former royal residence located in Venaria Reale, near Turin, in Piedmont.
