Dogliani
Dogliani is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Cuneo in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 60 km southeast of Turin and about 35 km northeast of Cuneo.

History
History
The town was a settlement of the Ligures, a pre-Roman population. The Roman conquered its area around 200-100 B.C, although Dogliani is mentioned for the first time in the Middle Ages, as the place of a castle and a borough surrounded by walls along the Rea torrent. Dogliani was likely a fief of the Aleramici family, and later was owned by the marquisses of Busca, those of Saluzzo and, starting from the early 17th century, by the House of Savoy. In the 19th century, Dogliani received numerous new buildings designed by the eclectic architect Giovanni Battista Schellino.
