Wedding at Vigna Chinet in Turin

The earliest information regarding Vigna Chinet dates back to a perspective drawing of the Turin hillside in 1690, indicating the Turin vineyards, sketched by Simone Formento. From the remaining documents and witnesses, it is clear that the Chinet, belonging to the Pellizzaro family of the House of Savoy, aimed to make it a vineyard boasting a convenient access and well-kept gardens. In the early 1800s, it became the residence of the Avogadro di Quaregna family, a member of whom was the scientist Amedeo (1776 – 1857) and the Promis family. Domenico Promis became its owner in 1844, leaving it in his will to his son Vincenzo, who stayed at the vineyard during his summer holidays until 1890. He was then succeeded by his mother and his sister, who stayed there until after 1910 when the vineyard was sold to the family of its current owners.
