Carmagnola

Carmagnola is a town located south of Turin on the Po River's route, serving as a railway junction that connects different regional lines. The landscape shows railway infrastructure, industrial heritage structures, and residential neighborhoods that surround the historic core.

The settlement began in the 11th century under the Marquisate of Saluzzo, which built a castle to establish control. The House of Savoy took over in the 16th century and guided the territory's future direction from that point forward.

The Collegiate Church of Saints Peter and Paul displays Renaissance stonework and vaulted ceilings from the early 1500s that visitors can still admire today. It remains central to how the community gathers and celebrates together.

The town is easily reached by rail since the station serves multiple regional routes with regular service throughout the day. The area is flat and easy to navigate, with good pathways to explore the old town and church district.

The town is widely known for a major annual festival celebrating peppers that draws tens of thousands of visitors and showcases local farm traditions. The event honors the harvest, regional cooking, and how farmers continue their craft today.
