Descrizione

The basilica of Superga is one of the main monuments of the Baroque architecture in Italy. At the same time, it was also one of the important symbols of the House of Savoy: the place where, during two centuries, were held ceremonies and rituals that legitimized its power. The symbolic role of the basilica was such that even Napoleon, after the conquest of Piedmont, used it for his own celebration. At the Restoration, the House of Savoy resumed the ancient practices. However, when, from 1848, the kings of Sardinia took the lead in the process of building the Italian nation, they could no longer have a church as a symbol. New ceremonies were created for the new times, but not too successfully.
