CHURCH OF SANTA MARIA DELLA PIEVE - SAVIGLIANO

Considered the oldest parish church in the city, the chiesa di Santa Maria is a real art gallery dedicated to the 17th century, originally built in the sixth century. Its current structure dates to between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It has one nave, in which several side chapels open up, embellished with works by Giovanni Antonio Molineri from Savigliano. In the nineteenth century, the bell tower was used as an observatory by Savigliano-born astronomer Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli.
