The village is closely linked to the Vidua family and their 18th-century villa, restored to its former splendor and now a venue for cultural events. Carlo Vidua, in particular, undertook a series of journeys around the world between the late 18th and early 19th centuries (hence the nickname "Traveling Count"), during which he collected information and objects related to the customs and traditions of various peoples. The permanent exhibition "Travel Stories of Carlo Vidua, Count of Conzano, Traveler and Collector," organized with the scientific support of the Turin Academy of Sciences, presents Count Carlo Vidua and the travels that made him famous in a new and captivating way, with an immersive and inclusive perspective.

For a pleasant stroll through the historic center of the village, follow the "Promenade des Artistes" with a series of works on display outdoors.

The Abbey of San Maurizio, in late Baroque style, stands in a panoramic position in the hamlet of San Maurizio.
