Reggia di Venaria - Galleria Grande


Torino, photo of a detail of the Great Gallery ceiling. Those oval windows over the great windows were opened by Filippo Juvarra (1678-1736) just to give more light to the Great Gallery.

Torino, foto di un dettaglio del soffitto della Galleria Grande. Le Finestre ovali sopra le finestre e le porte a livello del terreno vennero aperte da Filippo Juvarra (1678-1736) allo scopo di dare maggiore luce e dunque risalto, alla Galleria Grande.
