a town of the Sardinian kingdom, in the division and 10 miles W. of Turin, with which it is connected by a broad, straight avenue of elms. It stands in a beautiful position, in a rich plain, intersected by canals, at the foot of the lowest slopes of the Alps. On a height above the town rises a large but unfinished royal palace; and there are churches, schools, an hospital, and a court of justice. Many villas stud the country round about, as the climate is very healthy. Woollen fabrics, linen, and maccaroni are made here. Pop. 5195. This town is not to be confounded with another of the same name in Austrian Italy, 14 miles N.W. of Verona. It was at the latter place the French under Massena defeated the Austrians in 1797.
