Tagliaferro

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Tagliaferro is a hamlet of Moncalieri located in the south-western corner of the municipal territory, on the border between Nichelino and Vinovo. The first documented historical events relating to the marshy area between Moncalieri, Nichelino and Vinovo date back to the Early Middle Ages. The presence, around the year 1000, of a primitive complex of what would become the Abbey of Santa Maria di Carpice makes it possible to place in this period the beginning of the land reclamation operations gradually carried out by the Benedictine monks over the centuries.
