The article analyzes the role that the vows came to assume in the mod-ern Savoy court. In the "society of princes", characterized by a fre-quent and constant use (private and public) of religiosity and faith ex-pressions, it was normal to use the heavenly intercession to obtain per-sonal graces (in case of illness, danger, infertility, etc.) public (in the event of war, pestilence, famine, etc.). The House of Savoy resorted to this devotional practice privileging the religious references of their tra-dition.
