History:
For a wide public, Pinerolo remains synonymous with the Cavalry, so much so that in recent years an identity was coined: Pinerolo is Cavalry.
The National Historical Museum, which has been housed in the former Principe Amedeo Barracks (later Gen. Dardano Fenulli) since 1968, traces the life of the famous Cavalry School and the Army.
