Factory for Hydraulic Experiments at the Parella FACTORY FOR HYDRAULIC EXPERIMENTS AT THE PARELLA

In 1765 the king Carlo Emanuele III, careful to the transformations under process in the society which involved more and more the scientific knowledge and its applications "to the benefit of the mutual society" decreed the birth of a Factory for Hydraulic Experiments.
This arose next to Parella farm, along the road to France, at the West of the town and was led by the teacher in hydraulics Francesco Domenico Michelotti.
In the factory plants, experiments and tests for measuring waters were performed. The factory function was not only of research but mainly of "normalisation body" in the use of hydraulic resources in the Country. In Piedmont, the hydraulics will have a very famous school mainly represented by Giorgio Bidone and later by Prospero Richelmy
