Via Caduti per la Patria, 10057 Sant'Ambrogio di Torino

The village developed in the 11th century along the ancient Via di Francia, assuming the role of administrative and economic centre through which the Benedictine monks of San Michele Abbey managed their estate. The main street is protected by a series of thirteenth century towers. In the municipal tower, the fresco of the «dancing ladies» depicts an unusual secular theme.
