Claviere
Claviere is a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 80 kilometres (50 miles) west of the centre of Turin, near the border with France.Claviere (known as Clavières until the early 19th century) was already known in Roman times due to its strategical position near the Col de Montgenèvre.After the conflict, the boundary between France and Italy was moved so that it divided the village in two.A more rational frontier, still advantaging France with respect to the pre-war situation, but without splitting the village anymore, was established in 1974.Claviere is a part of the Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area in Italy, where the 2006 Winter Olympics were held.
