Entrance to Castello Galli della Loggia (private, used as a wedding venue); in front, the church of San Giuseppe. Beautiful architecture, in a quiet and low-traffic area.

The fortified house of Gorra was built in 1300 by the Provana family, and later remodeled. Today it remains in good condition, and is definitely spectacular to see. Opposite, the chapel of Gorra, also called "Provana chapel", from the eighteenth century (but probably built on the site of an original chapel from the twelfth century), with two simple frescoes of the Madonna and San Rocco (the frescoes have the air of being modern, but still have that slightly naive taste typical of the small country churches of Piedmont). The whole thing is located within the hamlet of La Gorra, about a hundred meters from the main road: it requires a short detour, but it is well worth it.

Founded by the Bishop of Turin Landolfo

Main road of Piobesi Torinese, which crosses the historic center (cleaned up and recovered in a big way) and leads to the castle. All the cycling routes in the area pass through it, so it's easy to reach. It is not closed to traffic, but car traffic is negligible.

The castle is private and closed to visits; but opposite the entrance, in the town's main square, there is a beautiful church with a Romanesque bell tower, which alone is worth a visit.

14th century castle, freshly restored. It is located in the center of Vinovo, so in addition to visiting the castle there is the possibility of a pleasant stroll in the historic center of Vinovo. Behind the castle, a beautiful park with a playground.

Renaissance style palace built between 1480 and 1517 to replace a smaller building used as a defensive fortress. It was built to a design by the architect Baccio Pontelli and overlooks what is now Piazza Rey. From 1775 the production of majolica and porcelain began in Vinovo, to which the premises of the castle and its surroundings were destined. The Royal Porcelain Factory was initially directed by Brodel from Turin, who was replaced in 1780 by another Turin doctor, the doctor and chemist Vittorio Amedeo Gioanetti, who worked under the commission of the Savoy family: this was the period of the gold of porcelain vinovese, until 1800 when, with the arrival of the French, the manufacturing declined. After Gioanetti's death, Giovanni Stoppini's attempt to continue its business failed, the castle was sold in 1825 to the University of Turin, which in 1836 sold it in turn to the municipality of Turin, from which in 1839 it was bought by the brothers Giacomo and Luigi Rey, who set up a carpet factory there.

Church built around 1000 AD. The old castle houses an international cooking school
