The Castle is located inside the natural park of La Mandria. It was residence of the Savoy since the 60s of the nineteenth century, when the king of Italy Victor Emmanuel II decided to settle here for the proximity to the city of Turin that would become soon the first capital of Italy and to be able to live far from the court with his first lover, and then morganatic wife, Rosa Vercellana. In addition, the king can devote himself to his great passion: hunting. For this purpose, the park is surrounded by a 27 km long wall that still exists today and inserts various animal breeds inside it. At Borgo Castello the architects Domenico Ferri worked there, as regards the interiors, Barnaba Panizza and the Ticinese Leopoldo Galli, for the exterior.
