==History== Archaeological remains found in the centre of Pinerolo in the early 1970s testify the human presence in the area in prehistoric times. Remains of the Roman necropolis of Dama Rossa, found during works for the Pinerolo–Turin highway in 2003, show that the area at the time was the seat of agricultural activities.
