The Historical Museum of the Cavalry in Pinerolo, a symbolic city of the Italian Cavalry, houses a vast collection that covers three centuries of history. It displays uniforms, photographs, paintings, sculptures, dioramas and models, including a reconstruction of the Battle of Waterloo. It celebrates the School of Cavalry and the exploits of Captain Caprilli, world master of horsemanship. Considered one of the richest military museums in Europe, it can be visited all year round. It is absolutely worth a stop!

The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Pilone originates from an extraordinary event: according to the chronicles, on July 23, 1684, a votive pillar dedicated to the Madonna began to mysteriously swing for several days, attracting crowds of faithful. On August 7, the first mass was celebrated under a tent, followed by the construction of a chapel to protect the Pilone. However, the influx of pilgrims made a larger building necessary: thus the current sanctuary was born, designed by the architect Gian Francesco Baroncelli, with a three-nave structure that still today houses the original chapel.
