Savigliano

Savigliano is a commune in the Province of Cuneo in northern Italy, situated at about 320 meters in elevation with historic walls and Renaissance buildings scattered throughout. The town spreads across relatively flat terrain with a mix of older sections and later developments connected by main streets.

The town grew within medieval walls that stood until their demolition in 1707, a major moment that changed how the city was organized. After that, the urban layout shifted as development was no longer restricted by the old fortifications.

The Teatro Milanollo, built in the 1800s, remains the main venue for theater and music performances in town. Regular shows and concerts here shape how residents and visitors experience local cultural life.

An international airport near Levaldigi sits about 10 kilometers away, making the town accessible by air for most travelers. If you prefer not to drive, trains and local buses connect the town to surrounding areas and make getting around straightforward.

The town became famous as a railway production hub with factories that built trains throughout the 1900s. Today Alstom facilities still operate here, continuing this industrial tradition that shaped the local economy for generations.
