Avigliana

They call it "the city of two lakes", and indeed Avigliana still preserves that charm found in more than one legend linked to the presence of the bodies of water that are its hallmark.

Walking through the streets of the ancient Medieval Village, we will talk about the Susa Valley and its history, closely intertwined with that of Turin, about the life and key events that made Avigliana first a flourishing city—a little jewel on the pilgrimage route—and then a fortified city.

We will discover the vicissitudes that characterized it up to the time when it proved inadequate to survive the devastating sieges that ravaged it.

Yet Avigliana hides unexpected artistic treasures such as the sublime paintings by Defendente Ferrari kept in the Church of San Giovanni, a true joy for the eyes and the spirit
