Staffarda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Staffarda is an Italian village area, within the commune of Revello near Saluzzo (south-west of Turin, and south of Pinerolo).

It is best known for the Cistercian abbey, Santa Maria di Staffarda: a monastic complex founded in 1135 by Manfredo I Marquis of Saluzzo.

The Battle of Staffarda was fought here in 1690 between France and the Duchy of Savoy.
