The decoration aims to celebrate the figure of the king, the first in the Savoy household, and does so in a showy manner, as though in a temple.<br \/>\nAt the end of the 18th century, the wooden trophies and decorations showing warrior putti in the corner fanlights were added by Angelo Vacca and Giovanni Comand\u00f9.<br \/>\nThe present floor, laid during the restoration by Andrea Bruno, adopts the original design by Juvarra, drawn up on 24th June 1721 and never executed. The architect had foreseen the use of green marble from Susa, Bianco di Foresto and grey Frabosa marble. These materials can no longer be found today as the quarries are closed, and have thus been replaced with other stones, as close to the original plans as possible.<br \/>\nIn the late 18th-century fireplace, a cast-iron plate bears the ducal arms and monogram of Victor Amadeus II.<br \/>\nIn an inventory dating from 1846, it is stated that this room was used for fencing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Did you know?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Victor Amadeus II<\/strong><br \/>\n(Turin, 14 May 1666 &#8211; Moncalieri, 31 October 1732)<\/p>\n<p>Victor Amadeus of Savoy, the only son of Charles Emmanuel II and of Marie Jeanne of Savoy, was a slender and sick child, and he was constantly surrounded by charlatans, magicians and great doctors, all promising cures; he was even exposed to the Turin Shroud. It was for him that a baker, Antonio Brunero, invented the grissino (breadstick), which was baked twice and suited his fragile digestion.<br \/>\nOrphaned at the age of nine, he had to await adulthood before taking over the reins of the duchy held by his mother who, in order to send him away from Turin, even organised a marriage with the Infanta of Portugal. However, this marriage never took place because of a providential and somewhat long-lasting illness.<br \/>\nThe Castello di Rivoli would be the setting for many of the most important moments in his life; his rise to power on 14 March 1684, when his marriage to Anne-Marie d\u2019Orl\u00e9ans, niece of Louis XIV, was also announced.<br \/>\nMuch of his reign was marked by conflicts for the succession to the Spanish throne which led to the Savoys being raised to the rank of kings. On 24 December 1713, Victor Amadeus was crowned, with his wife, king of Sicily. It was then that he met a priest, Filippo Juvarra, destined to make Turin one of the capitals of the European baroque.<br \/>\nThe second important event of his life associated with Rivoli took place on 3 September 1730, when he abdicated before the court. The event was a great surprise caused some commotion, but \u201cL\u2019\u00e2ge avanc\u00e9, les indispositions dont nous sommes atteints d\u00e9puis quelques temps, les fatigues que nous avons souffert\u201d had caused him to examine the question for some time, investigating the abdications of Charles V and Phillip II. Like many years before for his marriage, the announcement was made by the Marchesa di Spigno Anna Teresa Canalis di Cumiana.<br \/>\nThe last tragic event involving Victor Amadeus at Rivoli was his imprisonment about a year after his abdication, an internment lasting ten months in the apartment that had been prepared for him and which was with its architecture and art intended to show his strength, his worth and his greatness as the first king of the Savoy house.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sala degli Stucchi \u00a0or First antechamber in the King\u2019s apartment.
