We'll begin a tour of the village, which is full of art and beauty and where every corner is the starting point for a unique and unusual story.
We will learn about the International Ceramics Exhibition, now in its 65th edition – the leading artists and their works – and we will describe the valuable installations left as a legacy in the town.
We will unveil ancient beliefs – witches and legends – still reflected in objects of Canavese tradition.
We will talk about Castellamonte, a key player in the Risorgimento, in the key figure of Costantino Nigra – one of the most illustrious diplomats, politicians and intellectuals of the Italian Risorgimento – Cavour's right-hand man.
