Pinerolo (Pinareul in Piedmontese, Pineiròl in Occitan, Pignerol in French, Pinarolium / Pinerolium in Latin) is an Italian municipality of 35 944 inhabitants of the metropolitan city of Turin.To visit the city means to discover its medieval heart, its history of Savoy, the three French dominations until the birth of the School of Cavalry. The city, center of an area called Pinerolese, has been influenced by french culture, traditions and history. Pinerolese, that extends from Turin to France, has got a strong identity and a beautiful cultural heritage. In this area a lot of religious battles took place, whose tracks are still visible, and now different confessions coexist. During this tour you will see the most important buildings of Pinerolo and its neighborhood.

 

Gastronomy

Typical products: Torta Zurich, Pinerolese low panettone glazed with Piedmont hazelnut I.G.P., chocolates produced in local chocolate shops / Cheeses: Tomino di talucco, Seirass / Le mele di Cavour Meat and sausages: mustardela. Unmissable: bagna caoda, boiled mixed Piedmontese, braised in Barolo. Typical dishes of the Waldensian cuisine: planar, capounet, cabbage leaf rolls and the lou tourtel potato omelette. Among the first courses, the supa barbetta, with its variations, the polenta dousa and the traditional calhiettes (is of the Germanasca val) made with grated potatoes, sausage cooked in milk and onions.aerea-Pinerolo-.jpg

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.

So should we also then be kind and accept that you chose Caleb Ewan for the second time.   Of course I don't know if you want to get +100 points, but if that is your plan, feel free to go

      Totallympics Awards 2024

      By vinipereira · Posted

      Since I didn't follow the Games that closely, two categories I'm having trouble finding candidates for are Comeback of the Year and the Olympic Spirit Award (the Paris 2024 award for individuals who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship at the Games or have shown great determination in overcoming obstacles). If you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.      Comeback of the Year   Adam Peaty (Swimming) Tom Daley (Diving) Kristof Milak (Swimming) Matteo Berrettini (Tennis) Paula Badosa (Tennis)  Sunisa Lee (Artistic Gymnastics)     Olympic Spirt Award   Fariba Hashimi (Road Cycling) Flavia Saraiva (Artistic Gymnastics) Ellie Black (Artistic Gymnastics) Csanad Gemsi (Fencing) Silina Pha Aphay (Athletics) Sander Skotheim (Athletics) Cindy Ngamba (Boxing)

      This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost.

      I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.

      Thanks for your predictions, they are very interesting.   But here it will be a different format. Combined events - pairs of athletes, one male/female will perform in downhill and other will perform in slalom. E.g. Team SUI 1 Odermatt plus Meillard.

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By OlympicsFan · Posted

      Interesting (optimistic) predictions for GB. Don‘t See Them winning 5 golds (more than China and as many as Canada). I think 3 golds are more Realistic (Brookes + 2 in curling/skeleton). Especially gold for Bankes seems To be a rather optimistic prediction, given that Casta is 11 years younger and just beat Bankes.

      Medal Table (Change from 2022)    - 20 (+4)  - 13 (+1)  - 13 (+5)  - 9 (+7)  - 9 (=)  - 7 (+2)  - 7 (=)  - 6 (-2)  - 6 (-1)  - 5 (+1)  - 5 (+4)  - 4 (+1)  - 4 (-5)  - 3 (+2)  - 2 (=)  - 1 (=)  - 1 (+1)      -5,  -2,  -2,  -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list   On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands.    If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell.   World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find.      As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
