The best of Prarostino
- Faith and resistance: a symbolic site of Waldensian history and the struggle for liberation. The Faro della Libertà (designed by architects Gabetti and Isola) stands out at the spot where the first Pinerolo partisan group was formed.
- Temples and churches: worth visiting are the historic Temple of Roccapiatta, the scene of decisive events in 1686, and the Baroque Church of San Bartolomeo.
- Wine-growing tradition: Prarostino is home to a small but valuable Museum of Viticulture. Typical dishes include ‘Supa Barbetta’ and ‘Prustinenca’.
