Did you know that the world‑famous “Pendolino” was invented in Piemonte?
The pioneering tilting‑train technology, which allows trains to lean into curves, increasing speed while maintaining exceptional passenger comfort, was designed, engineered and tested by Fiat Ferroviaria in its historic facilities in Turin and Savigliano.
This breakthrough, developed in the 1970s and later adopted worldwide, became a symbol of Italian engineering excellence and helped position Piemonte as a global hub for advanced rail innovation. From Europe to Asia, the Pendolino technology has carried the region’s know‑how far beyond national borders.
