Restoring Stupinigi Natural Parks hunting roads

This GP regards the restoration of a part of the hunting routes inside the Natural Park of Stupinigi. It is Savoia Family Royal Hunting House and It is located just at the gates of Turin, the capital city of the Piedmont Region. Stupinigi is a wide complex made up by: the hunting lodge (a castle), the garden surrounding it and the park where the hunting roads are located. The restoration project funded by the ROP ERDF 2007-2013 Piedmont Regional Authority under the axis III – Territorial Restoration, Activity III.1.1 – Protection of the natural and cultural assets aims at:
- contributing to the protection and conservation of the park area and its safety; providing design, implementation and maintenance methods; - contributing to the maintenance and rediscovery of part of the hunting roads, integrating the existing cultural tourism offer.
Moreover, the restoration project brought several added values to the area from different points of view:
- historical and cultural (since the hunting roads are part of one of the historical residences of the Piedmonts Royal Family);
- environmental (since the natural elements of the Park need a requalification and maintenance to manage the anthropic impacts on it);
- educational, since it is used for school's activities;
- social (since the complex represents a symbol of the territory).
