Saluzzo, Medieval commune in Piedmont, Italy
The historic city of Saluzzo rises on a hill at 340 meters elevation, overlooking the Po Valley with the peaks of Monte Viso in the background.
The Marquisate of Saluzzo, established in 1142, controlled territories between the Stura di Demonte River, the Po River, and the Alps until its annexation by France in 1548.
The Cathedral of the Assumption, constructed between 1491 and 1501, exhibits Late-Gothic architecture and contains significant religious artworks from the medieval period.
The Casa Cavassa museum displays regional artifacts and houses the notable Hans Clemer altarpiece known as the Retable of Mercy within its preserved medieval walls.
Ludovico I commissioned the construction of the Buco di Viso, an alpine tunnel connecting the region to Dauphiné and Provence for enhanced trade routes.
