Gesiùn, that is "church" in Piedmontese, although it is not that big. It is an example of Romanesque architecture in the Canavese area as well as a suggestive point along the Via Francigena which passes right next to it.

Gesiùn is the Piedmontese name by which a sacred building is commonly known, of which only the ruins now remain, located in the municipality of Piverone (TO), in the Torrone area. The ruins stand completely isolated at the intersection of two country roads in the midst of vineyards and cultivated fields. Due to its architectural characteristics, the Gesiùn (literally "church", despite the modest dimensions of the building) represents one of the most singular, and even anomalous, testimonies of Romanesque architecture in the Canavese area and certainly one of the most evocative points of the Canavese stretch of the via Francigena.
