The Stables are home to the splendid Bucentaur commissioned by Vittorio Amedeo II between 1729 and 1731 and crafted in Venice, the only remaining of its kind. Today it is presented in a brand new staging that incudes videos, lights and music, and the boat is "armed" in full with mast, oars and sails.
Also on show are some of the most sumptuous ceremonial carriages used by the House of Savoy in the late 18th / early 19th century. These include the Berlingot created for Vittorio Emanuele I in 1789 by the finest artists of the Court, and the golden Berlin commissioned by Vittorio Emanuele II who became King of Italy.
The Bucentaur and the Carriages are presented together as part of the activities hosted in the Royal Stables that concerned the travels of the Sovereign and his train.
Under the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic.
The exhibition was conceived and organized by Consorzio La Venaria Reale.
The Bucentaur is a long-term loan to the Venaria estate from Fondazione Torino Musei - Museo Civico d'Arte Antica di Palazzo Madama in Turin. It was restored by the La Venaria Reale Conservation and Restoration Center with the support of Consulta per la Valorizzazione dei Beni Artistici e Culturali di Torino.
The four carriages are on loan from Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome and Museo della Carrozze di Palazzo Pitti in Florence.
Scientific project by Andrea Merlotti and Silvia Ghisotti.
Display concept and staging design curated by Gianfranco Gritella, project manager Giovanni Tironi.
The video Verso l’Unità: sovrani, città e popolo is by Carlo Miano, B-play.
The original music was composed by Marco Robino, Architorti.
