Places of Interest

City Center: Pinerolo is famous for its medieval history and its legends. In the old town stones and manuscripts tell stories about important characters of the past, as Acaja, Ortensia of Piossasco and the Iron Mask. Visiting Pinerolo you can feel the medieval atmosphere, admiring ancient buildings, hidden courts and medieval houses. From Saint Donato’s Cathedral, through Via Principi D’Acaja you will reach Saint Maurice square, where you can see a beautiful view of town and plain on one side and of Waldesian Valleys on the other side. The Pinerolese Area Militarized City, defence at the heart of a network of Fortilis surrounding ridges, Pinerolo has been for centuries a land of contention and a frontier between France and Piedmont. Iron is the element that marked this territory in the modern age: at first, the iron of cannons that shake the earth at the passage of armies conquering the city defined by Richelieu in 1630 “the door of Italy”; secondly the Iron mask, that a few decades after, a mysterious prisoner wore at the French gate. The Pinerolese has been a militarized area for long time, and then it became a land of freedom. After the Revolution and the Napoleonic campaigns in Piedmont, Pinerolo became the driving force of new ideas of freedom that were spreading throughout Europe. To visit: The Fenestrelle Fort, for its size and its development throughout the left flank of the valley, this fortress is also called “Great Piedmont Wall”; SCOPRIMINIERA E SCOPRIALPI The Ecomuseum of Mines and Germanasca Valley, located about 70 km west of Turin; Waldensian Cultural Center Foundation: the long history of the Waldensian movement left museums, places, buildings, which highlight its historical, cultural and religious aspects. Miradolo Castle, a wonderful example of neo-Gothic residence, surrounded by a beautiful historic park of over six hectares, rich in exotic specimens and centenarians trees.

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.
