The TV series 'Lidia Poët' highlights the village of Avigliana

From April 15, 2026 Avigliana features in the third season of the series about Lidia Poët. The small medieval town in Piedmont was chosen to recreate 19th-century settings, turning squares and municipal buildings into an open-air film set.

Filming took place in key spots: Piazza Conte Rosso, Via Norberto Rosa, the interiors of Casa Cantamerlo and the Town Hall. This visibility strengthens Avigliana's profile as a destination for film tourism and supports local efforts to promote the historic centre.

Territorial impact and opportunities

The arrival of an international production acts as a catalyst for the local economy and the appreciation of the historic centre. Thanks to coordination and forward-looking agreements implemented in recent years, the village positions itself as a preferred location for auteur productions, with benefits for tourism, commerce and cultural offerings.
