Carmagnola City Council session of 29 October 2026 on the Orthodox church
Date of the event:
On 29 October 2026 the City Council of Carmagnola, near Turin, is called to examine a proposal concerning the granting of public land to the Orthodox community present in the area. The discussion concerns the possibility of making available a plot of municipally owned land located on via Rubatto, on which a building for worship and community activities could be built. At the time of the session the project has not yet been approved [1].
The proposal
At the centre of the discussion is the granting of municipal land on which to build an Orthodox place of worship, conceived as a permanent space for religious services, major holidays and initiatives linked to community life. The identified area is located on via Rubatto [1].
Before any construction of the building can proceed, the administrative process relating to the granting of the land, currently owned by the Municipality of Carmagnola, must be completed [1].
The session of 29 October
The session of Thursday 29 October is the stage at which the City Council discusses the use of the public area and the possibility of using it to build the church. It is a preliminary discussion, not a final approval: the decision will serve to clarify whether the administrative conditions exist to proceed and what the next steps, if any, will be [1].
The context
The proposal concerns the presence of the Orthodox community in the Carmagnola area, a town on the outskirts of Turin, and is part of a broader question about the use of public spaces for religious buildings in an area where different communities and traditions coexist [1].
