Orbassano

Province: Turin · Region: Piedmont · Population: 22,537 · Postal code: 10043

Orbassano, 13 kilometers southwest of Turin, presents an industrial landscape anchored by the Fiat Research Center, operating at Cascina Mellano since the 1970s. The Sangone torrent splits the municipality in two: major logistics facilities and the San Luigi hospital sit to the north, while the residential core lies southward, blending into neighboring Rivalta.

With a population of around 22,500, this suburban town is heavily defined by modern infrastructure and automotive research. Yet, driving past the factory zones toward the small hamlet of Tetti Valfré places you directly on the route to the Stupinigi Hunting Residence, offering a quick detour into royal Savoy history.
