Federcaccia Piemonte: the Mass of Sant'Uberto, patron saint of hunting, will take place on 4 November at the Reggia della Venaria Reale.
On 4 November 2012, at 11.15 am, the Mass of Sant 'Uberto will be celebrated in the Royal Church of the Reggia della Venaria Reale (Turin). The function will be accompanied by the trompes de chasse of the crew of the Regia Venaria (ensemble of the Accademia di Sant'Uberto), trumpet organ and baroque timpani.
The Accademia di Sant'Uberto has proposed and organized the resumption of the ceremony in the church of Sant'Uberto of the Reggia della Venaria, starting from 1995, in agreement with the Superintendence for Architectural Heritage of Piedmont and the La Venaria Reale Project, now Consortium La Venaria Reale.
The constant presence of hunters has helped to restore the event in its meaning every year. We recall how the attention of the Italian Federation of Piedmont Hunting to the related cultural issues marks a new path, full of development prospects.
To Sant'Uberto, patron saint of hunters, there are ceremonial legacies connected to the very foundation of the Royal Palace and the City of Venaria Reale, since the XNUMXth century. On the Accademia website are photos of previous ceremonies and the history of the relic of Saint Hubert of the Savoy.
