The plain and first mountains between Turin and Canavese

The rural and agrarian landscape

The flatlands between Carignano and Vigone extend from lower Pinerolo up to the Pellice and Po Rivers.

The territory is composed of two areas with well-defined landforms. To the west is the upper Pinerolo plains where the irrigation consortium of Moirano Lemina has mitigated in part, the lack of a river network, thus allowing here and there the establishment of grassland agriculture and corn cultivation.
To the east, the middle plain has always been affected by a conspicuous abundance of irrigation water and because of this, from the 1950s there was a substantial increase in winter cereal farming and tree farming for wood that has somewhat modified the traditional landscape of the area.

The industrialization of agriculture has in fact brought uniformity to the rural landscape, eliminating the territories' natural landscape. Traces of historic 18th-century agricultural parcels of land are still visible, formed by the rationalization of the productive activity consisting of farm plots with their driveways, rows and paths that link one property to the other, numerous irrigation infrastructure, chapels and rural devotional centres.

The vast floodplains of the Chisone, Pellice, Po and Chisola Rivers, make up one of the flatland territories with rich historic and cultural interests in the Turin areas, which even up to this day, widely use bricks in construction. In this context, significant landscape references consist of monumental churches predominantly in the baroque style.

Vigone, the main centre, is located in the heart of the plain, and is one of the historic sites of the House of Savoy; other medieval centres are Scalenghe, Cercenasco, Castagnole, Virle, Osasio, Piobesi, Pancalieri and Lombriasco: each of these has important historic, artistic and urban interests.

The area is crossed by regional roads (that lead to alpine passes and to the sea), along which villages and rural centres surrounding the town of Pinerolo were developed. Around the village of Carignano, roads are organized according to the hydrographical network and irrigation canals.

Recipe

Frittura di lamprede

Preparation

Procuratevi lamprede appena pescate e ponetele in un contenitore con latte sufficiente a coprirle, per spurgarle dal fango che hanno inghiottito.
Scolatele dal latte e asciugatele bene. Infarinatele e gettatele in olio bollente, friggendole finché non saranno dorate e croccanti.
Regolate di sale e portate subito in tavola.
Vertebrati acquatici dell'antica famiglia dei Petromizonidi, quindi non pesci in senso stretto, le lamprede hanno corpo cartilaginoso anguilliforme e vivono stabilmente in fiumi o ruscelli oppure vi risalgono dal mare per riprodursi. Un tempo molto diffuse nella rete di bialere (piccoli corsi d'acqua) dell'alta pianura del Po, oggi sono di difficile reperibilità.
