Rivoli, Piedmont

Rivoli (Italian pronunciation: [ˈriːvoli]; Piedmontese: Rìvole [ˈriʋʊle] ⓘ) is a comune (municipality) established around the 1st century CE, in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, about 14 kilometres (9 mi) west of Turin.

[3] Rivoli borders the following municipalities: Turin, Pianezza, Caselette, Alpignano, Collegno, Rosta, Grugliasco, Villarbasse, Rivalta di Torino, Orbassano.

Although unproven by archaeological and historical sources, it is thought that before the Roman conquest the area of Rivoli was inhabited by the Taurini, a tribe of the Ligures, who, after the 4th century BC, were most likely joined by a Celtic migration from what is today southern France.

The first findings are from the 1st and 2nd century CE, belonging to Roman sepultures.
