Tips from the Community
Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli was a 19th-century astronomer who was particularly interested in the planet Mars. He saw regular patterns on the planet which he attributed to artificial canals, a sign of intelligent life on the planet. Subsequent scientific discoveries disproved him, but he still deserves credit for reviving interest in the study of the planet. In addition to many other observations and studies, which make him an important scientist. Born in Savigliano, his hometown decided to commemorate him with this monument on the railway station avenue. A monument that still offers a beautiful sight today, especially in favorable light conditions. The whole of Savigliano deserves a visit, and while you're there, also pop in to see the monument to Schiaparelli.

Consolata Chapel in Savigliano. Officially dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Consolation, it is known as the Consolata Chapel. A brick building, constructed throughout the 17th century and inaugurated in 1699, it features Baroque architecture, with a blue-painted pronaos and portal that contrast beautifully with the red of the exposed brick. It is located on Cavallotta Street, in a somewhat isolated area of Savigliano, but you'll definitely pass it if you travel the network of secondary roads that lead from Savigliano to Cavallotta.

Nice bar with a large panoramic terrace, great for a coffee or an aperitif at the end of the tour. https://www.facebook.com/p/Panorama-Bar-61561392575129/

Classic chapel on a crossroads typical of the Piedmontese countryside. Brick structure, in neoclassical style. Very suggestive. It is located on the CycloMonviso cycle paths, therefore easy to reach.

The actual historic center of Savigliano is a vaguely elliptical ring, with several alleys branching off inwards, many of which lead to beautiful churches. The ring is full of elements of interest, especially churches of various periods. The abbey church of San Pietro stands out, with a spectacular facade. The road is one-way, and if you travel along it in the direction of travel you can miss some of the churches, which face in the opposite direction: be careful, and perhaps go around in the wrong direction with a push bike, like good pedestrians.

Originally a convent with an adjoining seventeenth-century church, from the beginning of the nineteenth century, following the Napoleonic closure of the religious orders, it passed from use to use: today the buildings are a cultural centre, and house the civic library, museums, and spaces for aggregation. Not far from the church of Santa Maria della Pieve and the historic center, it is worth a visit.

Beautiful church with an eighteenth-century exterior, in brick, between baroque and neoclassical, with a beautiful elliptical rose window on the facade. A plaque commemorates that Giovanni Schiaparelli, an important nineteenth-century astronomer, studied here. Slightly outside the historic center of Savigliano (it was originally outside the city walls), it is worth the detour.
