Their connection to Nichelino began on June 22, 1694, when Vittorio Amedeo II granted a royal patent to Count Niccolò Manfredo Occelli and his heirs, establishing the *Feudo di Nichilino*.

The feudal privileges included noble titles, justice administration, hunting and fishing rights on the Sangone River, control over agricultural activities, and management of tolls.

In 1705, amidst a war with France, Count Niccolò Manfredo paid an additional "thousand lire" to secure the right to appoint local mayors.

Key developments during this period include the relocation of the cemetery in 1836 and the introduction of female teachers in 1854, who began to work alongside priests traditionally responsible for education.

As a satellite city of Turin, it experienced rapid population growth due to a wave of immigration driven by FIAT's industrial expansion.

On June 12, 1969, workers, students, and tenant associations united to protest rising rents, forming committees to organize resistance.

This protest, led by the student movement and local Communist Party representatives, aimed to freeze rent increases and improve housing conditions.
