In the city and province, the signs of the presence of a strong religious spirit, which has spanned the ages, are evident. Torino is rich in churches of every era and architectural style, and the same is true in the province, where some gems stand out, such as Belmonte, a Unesco heritage site, but also the Sacra di San Michele or theAbbazia della Novalesa. Literature lovers know that the Sacra di San Michele, with its mystical atmosphere, was the inspiration for the famous book The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.
