Chiomonte is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 60 kilometres west of Turin. The name of the town derives from the Latin Calcis Mons which refers to the calcium-rich soil of the area. Before the 8th century, Chiomonte was located on the south side of its present valley but, after a landslide, the town was moved to its present location. Chiomonte borders the following municipalities: Giaglione, Exilles, Gravere, and Usseaux. Sights include the 15th-century church of Santa Maria.

STORYLINE:
Protesters clashed with police near the Italian village of Chiomonte on Thursday after several thousand demonstrators marched towards the construction site of a controversial high-speed rail link.
Police responded by firing tear gas.
Some of the protesters were wearing gas masks and threw the gas canisters back at police.
The new railway line is intended to connect Turin and Lyon in France with a high-speed line passing through huge tunnels in The Alps.
Protesters say the rail link is a useless project and argue it is a waste of public money.
Protesters and local residents also say the proposed line will damage the environment, especially the construction of a 50 kilometre (31 mile) tunnel connecting the Susa Valley with France.
Protests have been going on ever since France and Italy agreed to the project back in 2001.

TG VICENZA (giovedì 7 marzo 2019) - E se l'iter dell'Autonomia procede speditamente, per la Tav sono ore decisive prima della decisione finale: mentre l'Unione Europea è pronta a finanziare il 50% dell'opera, i costruttori avvertono: se l'opera salta si rischiano penali per 2 miliardi. Ma il tavolo di confronto a Palazzo Chigi tra Conte, Di Maio, Salvini e Toninelli non ha dato ancora alcun esito. Sul tema interviene l'esponente vicentina del Partito Democratico, Alessandra Moretti. (
