Treiso: a picturesque town in Piedmont
Let me introduce you to Treiso, a picturesque town located in the province of Cuneo, in Piedmont, which has a population of around 759 inhabitants. The name comes from the Latin word Tres, which was given by the Romans to the small settlement three kilometers away from Alba. In history, one of the most important settlements in the area was Pertinace, where the Roman Emperor Pertinace lived.

Treiso became an autonomous town in 1957, thanks to the bill proposal of the Albese deputy Teodoro Bubbio, who detached it from Barbaresco. This decision contributed to the evolution of the town, which has grown steadily since the 1950s, both in terms of population and economic development. The famous novel by Giuseppe Fenoglio, "A Private Matter," is set in this town and nearby Alba.
In addition, since 2010 an asteroid in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter has been officially named 13494 Treiso.
