Trana
Trana is a municipality (comune) in the Metropolitan City of Turin, located in Val Sangone. It is linked to the neighbouring municipality of Giaveno by provincial road 187, which runs through the hamlet (frazione) of San Bernardino and serves as a connecting route between the valley's towns [2].
The landslide of November 2026
In the late afternoon of Thursday 12 November 2026, at around 5.15-5.30 pm, a landslide of soil and rocks hit the embankment of provincial road 187 on the stretch between Giaveno and Trana, near the hamlet of San Bernardino. The landslide, almost certainly caused by a full day of rain, involved three passing cars, without causing any injuries [1][2].
Firefighters from the Giaveno detachment, the local police of both municipalities, the Carabinieri of the Giaveno station, the Politanò rescue and vehicle-recovery staff and the volunteers of Giaveno's civil protection emergency response association responded, managing traffic and securing the area [1][2].
Reopening the road
Road maintenance workers from the Metropolitan City of Turin also arrived on site, supported by an excavator and a backhoe loader, to clear the debris that had fallen from the slope off the road surface. Traffic was completely blocked for around a quarter of an hour during the clearing operations. Once checks were completed and every obstacle removed, vehicle traffic was restored along the whole route that evening [1][2].
