Una delle caratteristiche viuzze dette "chintan-e" che si dipartono dalle vie principali del centro storico , dotate di archi che offrivano un qualche riparo dalla neve , un tempo assai più copiosa di adesso. In seguito alla rivoluzione francese , nel 1798 Carlo Emanuele IV abbandonò il Piemonte , rifugiandosi in Sardegna e Lanzo subì diversi "passagi di mano" prima sotto ai francesi , poi agli austriaci e infine ai Russi del generale Suvorov. Tornata definitivamente sotto ai Savoia , sotto il regno di Vittorio Emanuele II Lanzo conobbe un periodo di prosperità anche grazie al sorgere del primo , rudimentale turismo , divenendo infatti meta di villeggiatura di molti torinesi abbienti , agevolats in questo dalla costruzione della strada verso Torino e , nel 1876 , dalla ferrovia. Risale a quel periodo l'industrializzazione della zona con la presenza di numerose manifatture meccaniche , tessili e della carta. Dato molto importante , in paese operarono due dei più famosi Santi Sociali Piemontesi : Don Bosco e Benedetto Giuseppe Cottolengo , il primo realizzando il primo "oratorio" fuori Torino con annessa scuola professionale e il secondo con la Piccola Casa dell Divina Provvidenza di Lanzo.

The villages are my passion I do not know this but from how you propose it, and you propose it very well, it is certainly beautiful, I appreciate the b / w and the slight noise that are very suitable for the place, there is a small burnt part but from experience I can say that or you turn with the tripod and you take two or three shots to get a perfect photo and see little of the location, or you set the iron to the best and shoot without thinking too much and enjoy the location at the same time

Beautiful throughout the series, turn to villages to discover suggestive corners I really like. Beautiful yield in black and white. Interesting caption that illustrates the historical events. Unfortunately, these periods of industrialization, of industriousness to re-evaluate the territory and guarantee oratories and reception structures, of social commitment seem to me history and today we live in a sort of decadence, disengagement where appearances count more than results! I also like your shot for this ..... Behind those arches, those arcades, those balconies there is the work of many people! Greetings. Magú

I can only be honored and happy to read your comment / reflection that of course I share in full, thanking you of course for the appreciation.
As I wrote in the answer to your other comment, we are lucky, in our beautiful Italy, to possess these corners rich in history and ancient beauty, to which unfortunately sometimes, as you rightly say, or we do not pay attention or do not value as they deserve: it is one of the reasons that push me to visit, know and photograph, to share, these places .
A hug and see you next time!
Leonardo
