ビビアナのおすすめツーリングルート

Very easy route suitable for everyone

Unidentified little church, about which I found no information. It can be seen from the provincial road, and is easy to reach (it will be 50 meters from the provincial road). It has a rather poorly cared for look. It could be an old private chapel (it seems annexed to the farmhouse next door). It is still worth a visit.

Just off the main road, a very pretty little chapel, which appears to be dedicated to San Rocco even though the inscription on the pediment says "Mother of Divine Grace" - but perhaps it is only a caption for the fresco of the Madonna that is in the center of the tympanum. Two other frescoes flank the entrance and the semicircular rosette. The bell tower seems more recent, probably redone. It can be seen from the road, and is therefore easy to find - also because at that point the road climbs quite a bit, so you climb slowly enough to look around!

Nothing to do with the more famous Roman square of the same name, it takes its name from the parish church of San Pietro in Vincoli, which stands on one of the sides. The main point of attention is the isolated bell tower, planted in the middle of the square. At its feet, a fountain. Behind the tower, the roof of the ancient market, now adapted to a social space, with comfortable benches. The actual square is pedestrian, but there is a stretch open to traffic. Being the center of the town, all around there are bars and shops. Nice place for a stop. Historical note: the road that from the former station leads to the square is named after Vittorio Emanuele III (aka "Toiu Cit" for the Piedmontese). Toponymic titles to the penultimate King of Italy are quite rare, this is only the third that I have found around (the other two I found in San Mauro Torinese and Carignano).

On the way to the chapel of Santa Sea is this very minimal chapel, with a stone facade with two small windows and a door and nothing else, except a couple of flower pots to try to soften its appearance. In its minimalism, it is fascinating. It can be reached with a two-minute detour from the Via della Pietra.

A particularly suggestive point, it is worth paying attention when passing by.

Transformed into a cycle path ("Via della Pietra"), it is a beautiful route among the greenery, on new and smooth asphalt, and without cars underfoot. Just be careful at the numerous road crossings.

Central square of historic Pinerolo, dominated by the stunning cathedral. Magnificent.
