ヴィノーヴォの天然記念物・トップ14

The Victory Lighthouse, also known as the Maddalena Lighthouse, is a colossal monument dedicated to the Winged Victory, located at the top of the Memorial Park near the Maddalena Hill. The optics of the lighthouse are located in the torch held in the hands of the imposing bronze statue, a work by the Turinese sculptor Edoardo Rubino.

A popular destination for locals and tourists alike, somewhat removed from the – sometimes hectic – hustle and bustle of the megalopolis of Turin, the "Colle della Maddalena" is the highest peak in the surrounding area at almost 700 meters. However, the mountain is crowned not by a summit cross or other small sacred monument, but by a female figure from Roman mythology: "VICTORIA," the goddess of victory.

In 2018, Vittoria Bussi set the women's hour record (which she then lost, then regained in 2023 and further improved in 2025). A sign, signed by Vittoria Bussi herself, reminds us that the cyclist used the straight stretch of the Strada Reale di Stupinigi to prepare for the record. Riding the same road at my "slow pace" (cit.) is a notable contrast, but it's nice to think that you're riding on the same playing field as the champions.

Very nice circular route

A few steps from the historic center of Carmagnola there is a protected area of great naturalistic interest: La Lanca di San Michele, an ancient riverbed, now abandoned, which has been transformed into a beautiful wetland rich in flora and fauna typical of the river environment and the Bosco del Gerbasso where, thanks to valuable scientific work, a strip of the original Po Valley plain forest has been recreated. Inside there is a beach, picnic area, observation points and many other points of interest.

The largest park in Turin, on top of the hill on the right bank of the Po, where you can take several easy walks

The water is currently almost empty and the stones are quite dirty. Behind it is a large blue construction container. Currently unsuitable as a photo subject.
