The square castle has 4 mighty towers on each side, connected by corridors. It was a prison and barracks, and today it is the venue for many cultural events. One of the largest libraries in the region can be visited.

Entrance arch to the square of Savigliano. A place I never miss visiting every time I pass through the city - it is truly wonderful.

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.

Central square of Cuneo, surrounded by beautiful neoclassical buildings, and opening onto the main artery of the historic center. Not to be missed.
