Savoy Castle in Gressonay sent on August 18, 2019 (16:30) by Annamaria Pertosa. 38 comments, 1298 views.

1/500 f/4.3, ISO 80, hand held.

Castel Savoia, realizzato per volere della Regina Margherita di Savoia, che soggiornava a Gressoney ospite dei baroni Beck Peccoz già dal 1889, il castello sorge ai piedi del Colle della Ranzola nella località denominata “Belvedere”, in ragione della splendida vista che da lì domina tutta la vallata fino al ghiacciaio del Lyskamm. La posa della prima pietra dell'edificio avvenne il 24 agosto 1899 alla presenza di re Umberto I il quale, assassinato a Monza un anno dopo, non avrebbe visto la conclusione dei lavori, protrattisi fino al 1904. La dimora ospitò la Regina durante i suoi soggiorni estivi fino al 1925, un anno prima della sua morte, che avvenne a Bordighera il 4 gennaio 1926. Dopo l'acquisto nel 1936 da parte dell'industriale milanese Moretti, il castello divenne proprietà della Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta nel 1981. Il castello è costituito da un nucleo centrale di forma grosso modo rettangolare, cui si affiancano cinque torrette cuspidate, una diversa dall'altra, il castello fu progettato dall'architetto Emilio Stramucci (ideatore delle decorazioni neobarocche per il Palazzo Reale di Torino e il Quirinale di Roma) in stile medioevale, descritto come “stile lombardo del secolo XV”, assai in uso nella Francia e nella Savoia, regione d'origine dei sovrani regnanti. L'esterno è rivestito in pietra da taglio grigia proveniente dalle cave di Chiappey a Gressoney, di Gaby e di Vert (Donnas).

Very nice the subject, but also the vegetation to act as a natural frame. Well composed.
