Italian comune

AI overview

I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview of Venaria Reale. The information given only identifies it as an "Italian comune" (municipality), which is not enough to explain what it is or why it matters. I would need additional details about its historical significance, notable features, or cultural importance to provide the 2-sentence overview you've requested.

Encyclopedic overview

Venaria Reale (Piedmontese: La Venerìa) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northwest of Turin. Venaria Reale borders the municipalities of Robassomero, Caselle Torinese, Druento, Borgaro Torinese, Turin, Pianezza, and Collegno.

Founded in Roman times and previously known as Altessano (Autsan in the Piedmontese language), it was divided into Altessano Superiore and Altessano Inferiore in the sixteenth century. The upper town was chosen by the House of Savoy as a location for a hunting palace, and its modern name is derived from the Latin for hunting, ars venatoria.
