Poland: Łodź Israel Poznanski palace- musem of cultures and city

 

 

Łodź is a very mysterious city in Poland. During the Second World War, it was the only city that hadn't been destroyed. It had advantages and disadvantages because no one invested in this city for many years. Due to the lack of investment, it is still better to not enter some places today. But this was also the reason why, after the war, the city was a seat of government. It was even planned to transfer the capital here. The current president of the city is doing a lot for the city, but it's still a drop in the sea. Łodź is the second-largest city in Poland. Most well-known for producing world-famous animated films. To this day, there is a film school and a film studio with one of the best scores in Poland. Several world-famous directors and actors graduated from the local film school. On the opera stage, we will often see the famous Russian ballets or world-famous operas. Although many places are derelict, we will find pearls in this place. Łodź ,was a city of manufacturers, and during XIX and the inter-war period, it developed like London, unfortunately with a dark side of terrible poverty but also amazing fortunes.

 

                                           

 

After the war, new political systems damaged all.The Polish adaptation of the well-known Austrian and Italian series about German Shepherd Police Officer Komisaar Rex is shot here. The Israel Poznański Palace is the most beautiful residence in the city, often compared to the Hofburg. This decided, among other things, the location of the series. It was described in many books and was also the backdrop for many historical films. Today, it is still under renovation. In one part, there is the museum of the interiors of the Poznański family; in the second, - Museum of Three Cultures. Museum showing the common life and history of coexistence between Poles, Jews, and Orthodox Christians in this city. All these people together created this city, mostly as workers. It also presents their cultural customs. There were times when people of different religions could coexist. Place which is very much needed today.

                                        



The most famous interior is the dining room, which is entirely covered in mahogany and contains antique sculptures as well as statues of factory workers from Poznanski manufactures. There is also a symbolic fresco depicting Israel Poznaski's funeral, in honour of whom this city was founded. The second-famous creator of the city is Karl Scheibler. Scheibler was of German descent. At that time, he was the richest man on the continent. Without their amazing factories, it won't be possible. The room was already legendary at the beginning of construction. According to legend, Israel Poznaski wanted to cover the walls in gold rubles but couldn't decide whether to use the tsar's face or the eagle's. These are, of course, untrue legends. The famous staircase is entirely lined with ebony. The truth about the building, however, is a little different. Originally, it was supposed to be the home of a family foundation; unfortunately, the government did not agree to the foundation, and so the building became a residence. That's why the rooms are so huge. The truth is that Israel Poznaski died before the building was completed. Anecdotes attributed to Israel are actually about his son. This location has appeared in a number of well-known films. A mirror room where famous pianist Artur Rubinstein performed. He's an Oscar winner. He has his own room where souvenirs of him are shown. Here we can find his Oscar statue, his memories, and his piano.

 

The museum has collections of famous residents of the city, such as Julian Tuwin, Wladyslaw Reymont, or Jan Karski, the famous spy who did the first report about what the Germans were doing with Jews. His wife was a famous international dancer.  The Poznański family operated on a similar system as the Getty family. They generally lived on assets without cash, and in addition, they led a life beyond their means. It soon began to be felt and ended like always.

In the palace, we can find various artistic styles. When the architect objected to the mix of styles, Poznaski allegedly replied, "I pay; this is my house; I can afford everything." 
The effect is that this is one of the most beautiful residences that can be visited in Poland. His children really were terrible at making money, and the property was sold very soon. 
Opposite are the buildings of the Manufacture, a huge complex that is today one of the largest shopping centres in Poland. Next, we will get to the rest of the Jewish ghetto from the Second World War. Its liquidation was one of the worst events in history. The Germans simply set it on fire after closing the gate. All the people were burned. The Palace was the setting for many international films, including the sadly forgotten film "Persona non grata," about Sempo Sugihara, the Japanese consul who saved several thousand lives at the consulate in Kaunas during World War II: Jews, Poles in the underground, and descendants of White Guards. Although we can see many well-known Polish actors in the film, it has never even been released on DVD there and showed on TV just once, many years later.

Turin; royal residences: Palazzo Madama ,Carignano and il Duomo Torino rest place of the Holy Shroud- Risorgimento part II

Palazzo Madama ''Triumph of virtue of Madame Reale''

 



Palazzo Madama is building in a different style. Above all, Juvarra did not have much opportunity to prove himself because the building already existed and the old castle had to be rebuilt into a palace. Actually, he built a part. The castle belonged to the de Medici family, and here the queen of France, Maria de Medici, began her trip to France,  where she became queen. We are talking about de Medici, descended from Lorenzo il Vecchio (brother of Cosimo de Medici), who unfortunately was killed in the series, although his line survived and exists to this day. Probably Cardinal Mazzarini was here many times. Then it became the residence of the bishops and was finally connected by an underground tunnel with the royal palace.

This happened after the Savoys became a royal family. Madama, with its facade, refers to the Château de Versailles, which was added during the expansion of the old castle by Juvarra. Actually, it was created for one thing: from Madama in the evening, the king could see a parade of official guests on the way to the ballroom or the royal palace. Behind the huge windows overlooking the square, there is only a staircase leading to the piano nobile. Latter bulding was a new country set of senate. Today, there is a museum of art. In addition to beautiful interiors, we find here a rich collection of porcelain from around the world, furniture, paintings, and sacred art. Unfortunately, large windows, especially in the case of strong illumination on a sunny day in the mountains, make it difficult to take good pictures. You would have to take some more equipment. 

Marie Jeanne Baptiste decided about the expansion of the palace when she became regent for her son, Victor Amadeus II. Thanks to this, she got the nickname ''Madama Reale'', and one of the most beautiful halls is called "The Triumph of Virtue of Madama Reale." In this room, the queen died.

 

Marie Jeanne Baptiste was often compared to the French Queen Anna of Austria. The second most beautiful room is the Four Seasons Room, whose ceiling is gilded. Marie Jeanne Baptiste came to history as a strong, powerful ruler who knew great political rules. Madama is still a public place, scientific conferences are organised here. On the ceiling, in the hall of the senate, we will see a symbolic fresco with an anchor and God, a symbolic representation of the role of power.

The old part, which is still a castle, is also perfectly preserved. Although the pediment is baroque and some of the rooms are also, the mediaeval castle extends from the back. Juvarra has not changed it and is having to give back the fact that he perfectly combined both into one whole building; this really hasn't happened often in the history of architecture. The oriental rooms, which were popular at the time, have been painted with great accuracy, including exotic animals such as parrots and turkeys, as well as flowers that appear to be real.

The museum section has rich collections of art, including paintings and especially porcelain. 
Attention is also drawn to a set of ivory sculptures depicting'' the Judgement of Solomon," created to remind the ruler that he has to rule wisely but also cunningly. Amazing baroque mirror with a porcelain frame. Frame, which was created to remind us that looking at ourselves can bring the devil, but when we look up and forget about ourselves, we'll see the angel. Both characters are in the frame. porcelain animal performances, in particular a pair of wolves protecting the young. A large collection of Chinese porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, as well as Japanese (including Bizen), Porcelain collections are represented by the most famous porcelain factories in the world. Interesting monuments are also city codes, a huge golden key to the city, and a miniature inlaid model of the solar system that moves.

 

  

 



 



 

 

Turin also stores la Sacra Sindone- the Shroud of Turin.

 

A one-of-a-kind discovery that researchers are still debating but have not found answers to the few questions.Science can't explain everything, which may be a good thing. The Shroud is classified as archeopoietos, the Greek term used for sacred things, which means "not by a human hand created." Whatever we can say about the Shroud, everything points to one thing. The reflection of the body actually comes from the period known today as the 1st century of the new era, although pieces of material were later made to have damaged, perforated sides. The body's reflection is made by a method unknown to us today. It is found on all parts of the thread, which indicates that this person has passed through the material. The composition of the blood of this man contains minerals that are not present on the ground but exist, for example, in meteorites. Of course, it can be mocked; however, all scientific books, both supportive and critical of the Shroud, have the same inexplicable problem. Simply put, they can't explain that. The Shroud is in a special chapel that was connected with the passage of the royal palace.

 

On a special balcony above Sindone, a king sat on the throne. Today, the shroud is covered with protective material behind the glass and is only shown on the occasion of important holidays. In the picture of the face, everyone can read different things. Sometimes he smiles, other times he is a tormented man. Probably everyone has different feelings.  However, I got the impression that he' was a very sad and resigned man. as if he knew that his sacrifice was in vain. Everyone will see what he wants. An interesting effect is reflected in the glass of the chapel with the cross. If someone wants to see another archeopoietos, that can be admired all the time, they must go to Manopello. There is a shroud over the face.

(If someone in your life has witnessed a burial in the Middle East, he is aware that the body is covered multiple times.) It is displayed at the church's altar and is visible at all times. It shows the same properties as the Shroud of Turin: blood, way of copying, scars in the same places as on the shroud, and everybody sees something different as well. It seems only Martin Luther did not see anything, maybe because he was a Freemason.

 



Our Lady of the Snow in il Duomo

In Turin Duomo, the Cattedrale della Sacra Sindone, or if you want the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, pay attention to the Longinus chapel located on the opposite side of the chapel with the Shroud. Longinus is the man who, in fact, made Christianity. He was a centurion and a blind man. Death on the cross is very long, in fact, and took days or weeks. Jesus died on Friday, in the Middle East. For both Jews and Muslims, that day is Saint. Friday is the beginning of shabas.
During these three days, you can not bury the dead. Actually, you can't do anything, but as the old saying says, '' If you see a drowning man during shabas, you will pass by indifferently, or will you help him? God would like you much more for that second thing''.

Joseph of Arimathea and Mary therefore asked the centurion to finish Jesus' Passion on the cross, and he did it. Longinus did this by piercing the side of Jesus. Jesus, in fact, died on the cross, but not from crucifixion. Longinus regained his sight at that moment, but at the same time, God killed his entire family. He was to become immortal and wait to be defeated by the king, who would take revenge for that death.

 

Longinus



God forgives, but he does not forget. The Irish added that Conor MacNessa was that king. Longinus' spear would give him the power to rule the entire world. It was allegedly owned by Constantine the Great and Charlemagne. Hitler searched for it like mad. For this purpose, he created a special branch of archaeologists. Whatever happened to Longinus, here too are his relics, so the legend is either true or not; maybe his bones are real or not. Everyone knows that if we begin connecting relics, we could have five people made of one saint.

It is also necessary to visit Our Lady of the Snows Chapel, now known as the Chapel of Carlo Borromeo. Near the royal palace is the private royal chapel. It is also a small baroque pearl. Closely related to Christmas. It is linked to the cathedral passage where the Shroud is kept. A reference to the Shroud is one of the chapels showing the pieta. Next to it is the Shroud Museum, where we can learn more about it in addition to doing research. That place not only speaks: ''yeas ''or ''no''. It shows various trends. 

This subject and allows you to form your own opinions.
Virgin Mary of Snow is very important in Turin, although it is presented here in the form of a figure, not as icon. The legendary Salus Populi Romani is the only icons in the Latin world. According to legends, Our Lady of Snow brought snow to mark the location of the church patrician John built in her honour. By that snow Santa Madonna rescued cultivation , because this year there was a huge drought.
This church is the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four papal residences, along with the Vatican.



Salus Populi Romani ( and cassone)

the icon is characterized by joining in the gesture of both hands



 There are Holy Crib relics, and popes celebrate mass here during Christmas. I have not changed these photos either. I made them as if my deceased friend had seen her. which was discovered near a church where there was a copy of an icon of Our Lady of the Snows, and when he died, snow fell for the first time this winter and disappeared right after the funeral. Perhaps a bad light; perhaps he or she. Whose knows. The statue is now housed in the Duomo.It should be noted that most residences are still the property of the family, especially the Palazzo Reale, so not everything can be seen every day, but it is possible to meet a prince.

Palatine Gate is a remnant of the ancient Roman city walls. Although it looks like a mediaeval castle, in fact it is part of the ancient city walls. Palatine Gate is one of the best-preserved ancient Roman gateways in the world. Is located behind the Royal Palace.The surrounding area is now also used as a park. The name of the gate refers to an ancient palace. However, it is not known where it was; perhaps it's still the Palazzo Reale. The ruins of the palace from Roman times have not been discovered, but the palace must have been near the gate.

 

 In Palazzo Carignano, which is near the Egyptian Museum, we can discover all the history of the Risorgimento. For that museum, we need 3 hours. There are also amazing royal apartments that have been open to visitors since 2016. Here was born King Victor Emmanuel II, who moved the capital to Rome. His tomb can be found in the Pantheon. Bulding was also a member of the Subalpine Parliament's House of Deputies.

 

The most magnificent is the golden hall, called the ''Italian Amber Room'', because it is equally valuable. In fact, gold was used here. The term "large" does not adequately describe the size of this residence.

Is Turin worth visiting?Turin has to be seen if someone wants to get an idea of the power of absolutism and what awaited us when we decided to visit St. Petersburg.

Turin must be visited by everyone who is interested in the history of Italy. Turin is the first capital of Italy, and if someone is interested in this country, Turin is the place where we  will learn the history of this country as best as possible. Turin is also a magical city ripped out of the mountains, which makes it seem like we were in the Alps, and yet we will not freeze here from the cold. In very good light from Stupinigi, we can see the Matterhorn.

 

 

　The best hotel in Turin. As for me, from a few, in which I was an 'Orginal' hotel. It's a tiny, family-run hotel. The only complaint may be, in fact, the lack of a shower door, and only the curtain, which, as you know, causes water to pour on the floor, no matter how you use a shower. The rooms are decorated like nearby royal palaces, so you can feel like you're in a palace. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The breakfasts are on site. It is away from the city center, which ensures peace, and at the same time there is a trafika, where we can buy tickets for the tram and a stop from where we get to the centre for 10 minutes. Pets are welcome in the hotel, and the airport transfer service is available. The public transportation from Turin airport to the city is quite difficult, but you can get by without knowing Italian.It did not work as it should or as described until the end.The hotel is also in the Stupinigi area, where we can even take a walk, that lasts 15 minutes and, by the way, go through the park and see the Pad River. There is also a huge shopping centre and Fiat factory, which can also be visited. It is also important that the hotel rooms are heated at night. With a large temperature difference between day and night in the Alps, this is quite important, and generally, Italians at night do not warm up, although tourists are mainly in the room just then. It's good in the southern areas, but it does not get very pleasant here. Honestly, we can freeze sometimes. By the time I learned to travel with my blanket to this area.Here, however, unlike most Italian hotels from the northern region, we will not freeze. The hotel service is very helpful, even with such nonsense as the failure of your own computer, which isn't really their problem. The taxi rank is opposite. There is one city corporation in Turin, so there are no scams in this industry. Not far away, there is a very good restaurant run by an elderly gentleman, where we will eat and feel like visiting grandparents.

I'm so thankful to a very nice Italian guy  who helped me get to Porta Nuova! It was nice to meet you there, it's great that still exist people like you, not everyone will want take someone and show all road, although speak by italian language after many years of not use for me is difficult,  ''Hope to meet again if not in that in another life''. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stupinigi magnificent royal residence in Turin. The Story of Risorgimento and the series Elisa di Rivombrosa.

Palazzina di caccia Stupinigi, by many forgotten, best known by italian people, is the largest western Europe royal palace in baroque style.

If Turin is associated with anything, it is probably the Shroud of Turin: '' la Sacra Sindone'' .

Turin for tourists from abroad is completely forgotten, it is a big shame for education in Europe and should be changed.Turin, for several centuries, was the centre of state power, and then the economic center. People only know Rome as the capital of Italy, which is now becoming as terrifying and dangerous as Paris.In fact, Rome wasn't the first capital of Italy. For centuries, it was a city in the possession of the Pope. Rome is the historical capital of the ancient Roman Empire, which became the capital of Italy many centuries later. 

Cardinal Gulio Mazzarini

 Turin was the first capital of the United Italy.Risorgimento, or the process of unifying the country, began here. This was done by the dynasty, which ''born'' not ordinary people. These people knew how to make good use of opportunity and circumstance to link the warring little Italian republics. They were prominent politicians. One of them became famous as one of the greatest commanders in the world, and it can be said that thanks to him, the Savoys were reckoned with. I am talking about Eugene de Savoy, son of the former lover of King Louis XIV- Olimpia Mancini, a famous poisoner and a very mysterious person. Her uncle was Cardinal Mazzarini, the successor of Richelieu, who was a really worser man.

 

Olimpia was the niece of Cardinal Mazzarini, who often visited Turin. He was the successor of Cardinal Richelieu, and on many issues, he turned out to be a better ''political beast'' than his predecessor. So we can say that the Savoy's drank something with the blood of their uncle and mother. An extraordinary political talent, which most manifested itself in the form of Eugene Savoy. The man who, along with John Sobieski, commanded during the Second Siege of Vienna and clashed numerous times with Turks.This first battle was won by Suleyman the Magnificent.

Eugene never became a king. Until his death, he resided in Vienna, where he was the chief commander of the royal army. However, thanks to him and a tiny piece of land, something more has started to be created.

Did Eugene lead to the death of Emperor Joseph I von Habsburg?  Did  he previously deal with Turks? Certainly yes. However, he had a reason. Joseph was a good politician, but he was also a sexaholic, and a bisexual man, but that wasn't the worst thing. He likes to be brutal with sex and rape. Apparently, during one of the orgies, there was an inconceivable incident that ended with death as a result of rape. That person was Eugene's close friend, or, as some historians have written, Eugene met the brutal face of an emperor on his body, and he never forgot it. 

 




Eugene de Savoy

 He was Savoy as well, and he wanted to create a family myth that would help unite Italy. He became an international myth after his death. He also took part in the succession war in Spain and the war for Polish succession. Thanks to him, peace was made, and the Polish king was finally chosen. Stanisaw Leszczyski was forced to leave.He also took part in the Siege of Torino. His Belvedere Residence can be admired in Vienna, and my fascination with the Savoys began here.

Descendants of the dynasty still exist today, and they could probably still rule the country if they hadn't made one mistake.This mistake was the admission of Mussolini to power, it's the only thing for which we can blame them. Turin is a city of contrasts, with the beautiful old town and the most magnificent royal palaces in western Europe, along with the workers' districts, which are not always beautiful but interesting. The splendour and magnificence of the local palaces can only be compared to Peterhof, and this is true , because these residences arose for the same purpose as the residences of St. Petersburg. Both cities were new capitals and needed to prove it to the whole world. The royal residences in Turin are one of the largest royal residences in Europe, and the famous Versailles can hide behind them. They were also never destroyed during the war. However, few people outside of Italy are aware of their existence.Turin is the city where the largest industrial factories, such as the one that still exists today, such as FIAT, were built.The best Italian chocolate is produced in Turin. One of Europe's first film studios is located here.In good light, in the corners of the entire city, we can see the Alps, even the Matterhorn itself.

 

Still, Turin is visited by few people from abroad. The streets are wide here, so we can drive here peacefully without fear, and the palaces are magnificent. There are also no robbers or immigrants in the streets, or drug syringes left everywhere. As a result, we will not stick to the syringes, just like on the Tiber riverbank, and we will not be attacked in broad daylight. Walking at night in the city centre will also not cause of sudden death, but here we can drive peacefully without fear, and the palaces are magnificent. There are also no robbers or immigrants on the streets, nor are drug syringes left everywhere. As a result, we will not stick to the syringes, just like on the Tiber riverbank, and we will not be attacked in broad daylight. Walking at night in the city centre will also not cause sudden death, but it's always better to be careful . It is not, however, a trip for those who do not enjoy exploring and find it sufficient to take a selfie. What can be fascinating here? First of all, the royal residences of the Savoy dynasty. Is it really difficult to say which is more beautiful. According to all experts and books about the history of art, the most important is the one palace - known as Stupinigi . Palazzina di caccia - this is the official name of the palace, a ''tiny hunting palace''  in a literal translation.However, we won't find a small palace, it disappeared centuries ago. The palace has been extended to several hundred rooms. It was once a small palace, but as a new monarchy with full power, Savoy required a residence worthy of kings.They could emphasise it only with one style in art, which was closely related to absolute power, and to emphasise power, it was created. This style was also beginning to be a symbol of the Counter-Reformation - it is baroque.



symbol of Stupinigi-''il Cervo'' ,orginal statue

The baroque reached its pinnacle of achievement here, and "well done his job," as the saying goes.So these palaces are definitely not a place for lovers of Scandinavian-style of furniture and cold rooms. In some ways, the Baroque period represents the pinnacle of artistic achievement. Baroque is an illusion and plays with light, ornamentation, and everything that man can create.Baroque is one greatest theatre. Another name of the palace is 'Il Cervo', it refers to the deer's statue at the top of the dome. This name was to refer to the original function of the palace as a hunting lodge. In this case, the preposition 'il'' means'' this one is special, unique among many others''.It functions in the same way as in the Semitic languages, with the phrase '' al / el ''. In fact, in every room you can find the deer motif and a reference to the story of St. Hubertus, or any other mythological stories about hunting. Saint, to whom a white deer appeared and turned into an angel or Jesus. The legend about Saint Hubertus is quite well known, but we can recall it.

Hubertus was a relative of Charlemagne. He was a brutal hunter who loved to hunt for the pleasure of killing.He did not even pay attention to the saints. 
When God became enraged after Hubert committed a heinous slaughter in the forest on Good Friday, he sent the angel in the form of a deer.(in some versions, the deer turned into Jesus. myth derived in part from the story of St. Eustache) When a man was about to shoot him, he turned into an angel, and he said: 'Is not today the most important saint for a Christian?" You slaughtered on the day of the Lord's crucifixion; God permitted killing animals only for food, not for pleasure, and you committed that heinous slaughter on that day...Hubertus was converted, he became bishop of Liege, and his body has not been spread to this day. He is the patron of hunters, foresters, and hunting dogs. Numerous references to this story are visible here, which is why the palace is often called the temple of Saint. Hubertus or the temple of the deer. This is one of the first palaces in Europe, where there are toilets with cisterns and bathrooms with bathtubs.

 

 

 

The name Stupinigi means '' intoxicating shock, astonishment, but in a good sense ''. This palace is like  that. Filippo Juvarra, a student of Carlo Fontana, who was a student of the magnificent Bernini, designed the residence and many others in Turin. The amendments were made by Prince Benedetto Alfieri, also the architect and godson of the Pope himself. We know this character from the popular Italian series 'Elisa di Rivombrosa'. The series was loosely based on the best-selling book 'Pamela', at the same time it involved characters and events connected with the unification of the Italy - Risorgimento. The series was shot in  the Savoy family's royal residences  in Turin, also in Stupinigi. Next to the series ''Caraibi'' was the most expensive series in the history of Italian cinematography. It was well received as a film that accurately depicted those times and ages.

The building was built for King Carl Emanuel III, because of family conflicts between father and son. Together with the adjacent parks and forest, it connected three smaller ''towns'' included in the agglomeration of Turin: Vinovo, Candiolo, Moncalieri.
Juvarra was a court architect of Victor Amadeus II, one of the first rulers of the majority of Italy. He was an eminent ruler who created his duchies with powerful powers. One of the first important figures of the Risorgimento.

 

Was he mentally ill? Today, we think that, in fact, he wasn't , and the son, who was in strong conflict with him, removed his father for some time by using that story. Sometimes it's better not to despise children, and Victor has done it many times, even in public situations. Maybe he never heard the old Mongolian proverb: "Do not scorn a weak cub.He may became  a brutal tiger '' ( it was mostly  used to describe Genghis Khan).

Victor Amadeus despised his own son so strongly, which led to his enforced abdication,

probably due to a conspiracy tied to his son.

Charles Emanuel was also overthrown by father, but after returned to the throne. It showed how much they hate each other. He hated the family home so much that he ordered to build a new royal residence. We can say that without that conflict, the most amazing royal residence in western Europe would never exist.

　

 

 

 

  Charles also supported King Stanislaw Leszczyński in the 'war for Polish Succession' and did not involve his country in a devastating "Seven Years War '' that swept through Europe, becoming one of the first cruel wars of history.

Juvarra finished his life in Madrid. While the first court architect, Guarino Garrini, made the buildings rather calm, Juvarra has already reached the peak of the use of all baroque motives and slowly introduced Turin into the culmination of the baroque style, sometimes known as a separate style in art called "rococo. He changed the face of the city and had a lot to do. It was necessary to turn the collapsed village into a royal city. 
Juvarra was admired throughout Europe for the perfect use of illusion, chiaroscuro, ornamentation, and stucco work.





 

Juvarra was first of all a theatre set designer, and it is thanks to that his buildings are amazing. It was his first job, and that made his works unique. He also worked in Spain, where he added mauritian ornaments to baroque motives.  Memory of Islamic Spain has been preserved in the arts and just there.

It was the specific spanish style that Juvarra had moved to Europe. He made extensive use of perspective shots and lighting effects.He did not hesitate to combine elements from different styles, which he met in Spain. He ideally connected buildings with their surroundings. Stupinigi lies on a flat area and was built on the set of a multi-dimensional gallery. The greater part of the complex consists of low buildings, which was meant to emphasise the higher centre of the building. It is this ellipsoid hall, the highest private baroque hall in Europe, topped with "Il Cervo" from the outside, it is the centre and treasure of this palace. It was the centre of the building where the most important ceremonies took place and the most important guests were taken here. Corridors and stairs lead to ballrooms, forming an orderly cross.It's the perfect application of the contract, creating a mysterious backstage for what will happen next. Huge windows overlooking the garden connect the building with the natural scenery of the garden, which makes us feel like we are in the garden, while at the same time we are in the building. The interior is expanded by numerous mirrors decorated with frames. Stupinigi is a theatre where the king and the whole court company are present, but this isn't like with  power, this is the largest and most powerful theatre in the world. Juvarra was able to create residences worthy of rulers. His royal residence in Madrid is a royal residence to this day. From the outside, the building looks mild, and it can be said that it is not interesting. This is another illusion of Juvarra. Stupinigi is like a good candy, in an ugly paper. This is the entire illusion of baroque architecture, which is meant to befuddle after the entrance.This was the assumption of this style, which was intended to attract faithful to Catholic churches while discouraging them from Reformation churches, where sacred buildings are sparsely decorated, gloomy, and cold.After all, this is a move to highlight the royal power.

 

Famous Great Hall

 

 

From the time of Victor Amadeus, Stupinigi was no longer solely a hunting lodge, though it can be easily described as the temple of Saint Hubertus and the Holy Deer due to the abundance of details and motifs referencing this legend.However, it has not been a hunting lodge for a long time, now we can say it's a temple and sanctuary for animals. The king brings the most important guests here, and the mansion spends the most important feasts, such as Christmas, here.It is an ideal theatrical place, worthy of an absolutist king, while at the same time emphasising the influence and importance of the new dynasty, which they needed very much. What is Stupinigi? Only Juvarra can answer that question. Depending on the time of day, light falling on walls, ceilings, or paintings creates a different impression of colors. One will pick up walls in a fillet color, another in blue, and another guest in dark pink. While taking pictures, I could have coloured them, tweaked them through photo programs, but I did not want to do it. I wanted to show Stupinigi of Juvarra in the way he wanted: varable, amazing, mysterious, beautiful, and sometimes scary, like politics is. Stupinigi became an ideal residence worthy of the new dynasty, which needed to emphasise her influence. The others were quickly forgotten. The king resided in the Palazzo Reale in the city, but the most prominent guests always came here. In the palaces of Juvarra also in Stupinigi, were filmed many movies and series, including the most expensive Italian series, - 'Elisa di Rivombrosa', The Italian version of "Beauty and the Beast" was also filmed here, and to this day the residence earns money by renting out its interior design for films. Animals are welcome to visit the palace; they are also welcome in Turin's shops and restaurants. The king adored his dogs, and they have monuments here with their trophies, as seen in the paintings in the Great Hall, where they could also be seen at evening celebrations. Two elephants also lived in Stupinigi. Fritz was most beloved, he has his own statue here. He was a gift from Mohammed Ali - not a boxer, , but a ruler. Fritz died in a terrible accident.The latest part of "King's Man" was also filmed here. Stupinigi played the role of Peterhof and the Winter Palace.

I'm so thankful to a very nice Italian guy  who helped me get to Porta Nuova! It was nice to meet you there, it's great that still exist people like you, not everyone will want take someone and show all road, although speak by italian language after many years of not use for me is difficult,  ''Hope to meet again if not in that in another life''.
