Moriondo Torinese
Welcome to Moriondo Torinese!
Hi guys, today I'm going to talk to you about Moriondo Torinese, a beautiful municipality of 844 inhabitants located in the metropolitan city of Turin, in Piedmont. Here you will find plenty of peace and tranquility, combined with an ancient and fascinating history, where monuments and places of interest are waiting for you.
Monuments and places of interest
Let's start by talking about the Castle of Moriondo, which today is part of the private property of an industrial family from Castelnuovo Don Bosco. The Castle dates back to the XI century and was built by Landolfo, bishop of Turin, for defensive purposes from the nearby marquisate of Monferrato. The Castle dominates the town from above and is surrounded by a beautiful park that extends over a hilly relief.
The Castle of Moriondo has a really interesting history, as it was owned by the industrialist Virginio Bruni Tedeschi, grandfather of the former top model Carla Bruni, who was involved in the fashion market for years. Moreover, Bruni Tedeschi was also the mayor of the municipality for almost thirty years (from 1946 to 1974), witnessing the long tradition of public service of the Piedmontese aristocracy.
