Valloriate: a small Piedmontese municipality
Hello everyone! Today I will talk about a small Piedmontese municipality called Valloriate, which has only 103 inhabitants and is located in the province of Cuneo.
History
The history of Valloriate is very ancient: it dates back to the pre-Roman period, when the area was inhabited by the Ligurians. Subsequently, the territory came under Roman control and then, during the Middle Ages, was part of the Marquisate of Saluzzo. In 1559, it was annexed to the Duchy of Savoy. Over the centuries, the village suffered many conflicts and destructions, but it always managed to recover thanks to the strength of its inhabitants.
