The transfer of the Savoy' Archives from Italy to France, followed on from the Peace Treaty in 1947, constituted a loss of documents and historical heritage. The files indeed showed the tendency of the Savoia Monarchy, since the Middle Age, towards the organization and modernization of the State institutions. In 1430, Amedeo VIII organized the Archives with the new Statutes Law. Then in 1720 Vittorio Amedeo II began rationally the reunion of the funds in Turin. In 1731, the architect Filippo Juvarra planned a new place, connected with the royal palace and the Government. The French and Napoleonic domination implicated damages and dispersion of the Archives, so that after 1814 they needed a new, complicated arrangement.
