The Gardens of the Royal Palace have today become an extraordinary close union between ancient and modern, a virtuous dialogue between archaeological settlements and contemporary works. In the Lower Park, in fact, the Garden of Fluid Sculptures by Giuseppe Penone extends for 500 meters, with 14 sculptures that mark a seamless path between the mineral, vegetal and human worlds. In the Upper Park, instead, at the center of Juvarra's Gran Parterre, the evocative installation by the artist Giovanni Anselmo: six granite slabs on which the writing "Where the stars get closer by a span more" is engraved.
All framed in an incomparable view of infinity that has no analogous comparisons among Italian gardens for the magnificence of the perspectives and the vastness of the natural panorama surrounded by the woods of the Mandria Park and the Alpine mountain range.
The young Gardens of the Reggia di Venaria, inaugurated only in 2007, after the first phase of adjustment, are entering, like an adolescent, an important moment of their growth and evolution during which the characterizing elements and the "strength" of their design are starting to emerge in a more evident and defined way, testifying to a continuous natural transformation that in the panorama of the great historical European gardens represents a unique experience. Their visit can therefore be a pleasant surprise even for those who have already visited them in the past.
In addition to a simple walk or guided tours with specific educational itineraries, the Gardens can be explored in other fun ways, such as with the Freccia di Diana train.
The Gardens of the Reggia di Venaria are part of the network of the Great Italian Gardens.
