Giaveno, Municipality in Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy
Located 30 kilometers west of Turin, Giaveno sits at an elevation of 506 meters in the Piedmont region near the French border.
The territory belonged to the Abbey of San Michele della Chiusa in 1103 through a donation from Count Umberto II of Savoy, until Frederick Barbarossa reclaimed it in 1195.
The municipality maintains circular defensive towers and walls from 1347, constructed under the direction of Abbot Rodolfo di Mombello to protect the settlement.
The municipality connects to Turin through an extensive public transportation network, making it accessible for both residents and visitors throughout the metropolitan area.
Archaeological discoveries near the Sanctuary of Madonna del Bussone include ancient necropolis materials and Roman-era pavement at the Tortorello torrent bridge.
