Castle Reggia di Venaria in Venaria Reale

You're standing at the Palace of Venaria, about ten kilometres north of Turin. Take a good look at the buildings. What you're really seeing is two palaces joined together. The oldest part, the Palace of Diana from the seventeenth century, is covered in white plaster and decorated with cornucopias, shells and fruit. The eighteenth-century wing, on the other hand, proudly shows off its bare brick.
