The Gianavella is linked to the memory of Joshua Gianavello (1617-1690), a peasant who led the resistance in the tragic events of 1655, when French and Savoy troops attempted to eliminate the Waldensian presence through violence. A small exhibition, housed on the ground floor of the house, tells of Waldensian events up to 1600, the figure of Gianavello and the events in which he was a protagonist. Accessible by detour from the main route.
