Piasco, located on the left of the Varaita stream, has ancient origins. It was a Roman customs station and then passed from the Lords of Venasca to the Marquises of Saluzzo up to the Savoy.
Among the medieval testimonies still visible today, the civic tower, once a bell tower, and the Church of San Giovanni stand out. The Porporati castle, dating back to 1655, dominates the historic center.

Beautiful town also rich in history. The center is a fine example of a well-preserved "mountain" city. Among the monuments to see, the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, and the Civic Tower, an ancient bell tower now incorporated into the structure of the Town Hall. Several water points throughout the country. Almost the entire center is a pedestrian area, so you can go around without fear of being overwhelmed by the driver on duty.

The historic center of Piasco boasts many monuments to see, such as the parish church of San Giovanni Battista and the Civic Tower, an ancient bell tower that is now part of the town hall structure. The center is characterized by a large pedestrian area. From Piasco begins the long climb that leads to the Agnello hill.
