Castellamonte

Castellamonte is a town in the Canavese area of Piedmont, in north-west Italy, set on the plains where the foothills of the Alps begin, a short distance from Ivrea. It is known for its long tradition of pottery and terracotta stove making, which still shapes the character of the town and its workshops. As a place to live, it offers a quieter alternative to nearby cities, with a historic centre, surrounding countryside and access to the wider Piedmont region.
