A Savoy residence for hunting and parties built starting in 1729 based on a design by Filippo Juvarra, the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi is one of the monumental jewels of Turin and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A sumptuous and refined residence favored by the Savoys, as well as the residence chosen by Napoleon in the early 1800s, it was reopened to the public after major restoration work. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was chosen as a residence by Queen Margherita, and since 1919 it has also been home to the Museum of Furniture. The Palazzina di Caccia - among the most extraordinary 18th-century complexes in Europe - has full museum dignity with its original furnishings, paintings, masterpieces of cabinetmaking and the design of the territory. It is now owned by the Fondazione Ordine Mauriziano, a government body dedicated to its conservation and enhancement. Speakers: Marta Fusi (Director of the Stupinigi Hunting Lodge) Emanuele Vizzini (General Manager - Investitori sgr) Michele Scolletta (Head of Allianz Network Italy - Allianz Global Investors)
