Complesso monumentale del Castello e Parco di Racconigi

At Castello di Racconigi a small nucleus of artifacts from South America is preserved, which entered the royal residence following the journey made by the crown prince Umberto of Savoy (later Umberto II) in the summer of 1924 to Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil. Among the places visited were Buenos Aires, Rosario de Santa Fe, Tucumán, Córdoba, Mendoza, the Andes, Santiago de Chile, Valparaíso, Montevideo, and Bahia. On that occasion the heir to the Italian throne received as gifts objects, books, and photographic albums, offered both by local institutions and by the many Italians who had emigrated to those countries.
