Church Community Service Hours Letter
Eugene's body was embalmed, it is necessary to enable grub heart and viscera,
therefore it is certain that his heart was embalmed in a silver urn.
Where was delivered?
The heart was transferred to Herzgruft why the Emperor Charles VI declared:
"is NOT a Habsburg.
(the "Crypt of Hearts," which protects the chamber 54 silver urns containing the hearts of deceased members of the Habsburg dynasty. It is located behind the altar of the right aisle Loretokapelle dell'Augustinerkirche the congregation of the Augustinians barefoot included in the Hofburg, in the center of Vienna. The bodies of all those whose hearts are here, except three, are in the imperial crypt, a few blocks away). Some religious orders
Vienna had asked the relic in their church but were not heard.
Derek McKay writes that: "The heart of Eugene was removed to be buried with those of other family members, in Turin."
But who would have traversed the city in the heart of Savoy?
The Savoy became conspicuous by their absence at the funeral, no recrimination, but what are the reasons behind this failure?
against an unjustified absence of the "liberator" of the duchy.
To have a plausible explanation we return briefly to the evening of October 31, 1731 when the great almoner of the King Carlo Emanuele III, Don Francesco Arborio Gattinara blessed by the inauguration of the Basilica di Superga before the king and the architect Filippo Juvarra.
Great absent, the father of King and Prince Eugene. 
The king could not ask Eugene or, rather, was a request not knowing that he had managed to imprison his father Vittorio Amedeo II and stepmother in the castle of Rivoli. 
The strange cases of life, the two leaders who made a vow to build the Basilica after the inauguration will die without being able to see the work completed.
never met his older brother Luigi Giulio killed by the Turks at the age of 23, was wounded
Petronell July 7, transported died July 12 in Vienna (his heart was
transferred to Turin in the church of San Carlo entrusted to the Augustinians Discalced).
In the church of San Carlo Borromeo to Turin is kept the hearts of his two brothers, on the plaque behind the main altar is carved:
"ob singularem pietatem in s. carolum borromoeum EMMANUEL PHILIBERTUS
here aug. taur. decessit XIV kal. Maii an. MDCLXXVI oetat suoe XIV.
et Iulius LUDOVICUS viennoe vindob. vissit proereptus IV. idus Iulii a. MDCLXXXIII annorum XXIII principis Eugene of Savoy in Mauritia carinian. comitis filii suessonensium
eugeni invictissimi ducis hic fratres located his rope volume "
If the heart of Eugene had come to Turin, where he occupied the Augustinians were barefoot, in the following periods could have been transferred to Superga (the Mausoleum was built forty years later). The "switching station" could only be the church of San Carlo (the monks had a monastery attached to the church later demolished), which already housed the hearts of his brothers.
Only since 1837 the church will be entrusted to the Servants of Mary.
What combination Superga of the convent is run by the Servants of Mary, since 1965.
I asked about Mario Azzario pastor in the church of San Benedetto and Carlo Marengo prior to Superga (thank them for their sensitivity), the unanimous response: "never reached the heart."
