Museo Pietro Micca

The Museo Pietro Micca is a museum dedicated to the 1706 siege of Turin and the life of Pietro Micca, an Italian soldier who sacrificed himself during the siege. The museum is connected to a network of underground tunnels that played a crucial role in the defense of the city. Visitors can take a guided tour of the tunnels, which includes the staircase where Pietro Micca detonated a mine to prevent the French from advancing. The museum also features exhibits on the history of the siege, including 18th-century weapons, maps, and paintings. The museum offers free conducted visits and has a bookshop, parking, and refreshment point. It is also accessible for visitors with disabilities and offers activities and services for the visually and non-hearing impaired
