Machine-translated from the Italian article

Cenìsia (also so in Piedmontese) is a neighbourhood located in the western area of Turin, part of Circoscrizione 3 together with the neighbourhoods San Paolo, Pozzo Strada, Lesna and Cit Turin. It is bounded: The name derives from the street of the same name, which came from the nearby Susa Valley and the Mont Cenis pass, towards the entrance to the city through the Porta Segusina. It ran through the territory of the present neighbourhood, which acquired a certain importance from the 17th century onwards, due to the presence of various farmhouses, the most notable of which was the Porporata, owned by the Marquises of Sampeyre.
