Join us to explore a rare example of a late 19th-century workers' village, born from the dream of Napoleone Leumann. This extraordinary area in Collegno represents an enlightened vision of social well-being, designed to offer the workers and employees of the Leumann factory a complete and independent living environment.
Guided by volunteers from the Associazione Amici della Scuola Leumann, you can discover a village that includes all the services designed for the daily life of the workers: from homes to kindergartens, from public baths to the theatre, to the church and recreational clubs. Walking through the streets of the village, you will relive the history of a community that, for its time, was at the forefront of ensuring quality of life and social support.
An unmissable opportunity to rediscover an important chapter in the industrial history of Piedmont and in the history of work in Italy.
