Stupenigi, Hunting "Lodge"



Grace poking the stag
This morning we went to Stupenigi, one of the  hunting palaces of the "House of Savoy", Italy's royal dynasty.  It was built in 1729 and was once surrounded by a huge park and woods stocked with deer and birds for hunting.  The park is now a nature preserve.  The palace is only half renovated so we couldn't see it all but what we did see was amazing.  Unfortunately no pics.   xxoo me
