01/12 Torino Via Nizza 335

This is in the built-up area south of Turin, on the Po plain by the Po river where it meets the lower valley of the Sangone. The hill of Moncalieri rises immediately east of the town and is part of the Torino hill system, with wooded slopes and the built ridge continuing toward Superga. Moncalieri Castle is a Savoy residence within the UNESCO World Heritage listing of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy. Turin is the nearest city and provides the full range of urban services, major museums, rail links and the airport. The area is known more for its suburban and river-corridor setting on the edge of Turin than for a distinct rural landscape within the immediate radius.
