Frassinetto is widely known in Piedmont for its Museum of Wooden Masks, dedicated to an expressive folk-art form found in traditions well beyond the Canavese. This small mountain comune stands above the wooded Valle Sacra in the Canavese area of the Metropolitan City of Turin. Its stone-built centre and steep surrounding slopes place it firmly in the Italian Alps rather than Turin’s urban plain. Frassinetto offers a useful introduction to the quieter inland valleys of northern Piedmont and their enduring mountain settlement patterns.
