Carmagnola
Carmagnola is a charming town steeped in history and art.
Nowadays famous for its Peppers Festival, it also offers
interesting cultural events.
The historical centre is full of ancient buildings among
which Casa Cavassa, the seat of the “Società
Operaia di Mutuo Soccorso” (Mutual Help Workers’Association)
for a century and once the residence of the Saluzzo Marquis.
The most interesting worshipping places are: the church
of Sant’Agostino, where the veneration of the Immaculate
Virgin began, and the Synagogue, witnessing three hundred
years of Jewish presence in Carmagnola.
A famous Culture and Hemp Cloth Manufacture Museum was
founded near the last “senté” (path)
still extant. Under a long canopy, the museum houses old
tools and a rich documentation of the traditional rope
manufacturing processes.
