Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Riva presso Chieri” as comune (municipality) in the Province of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1954, 2006—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Riva, presso and Chieri can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as comune (municipality) in the Province of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10219. VIAF identifies the subject as 247387083. Authority coordinates are 44.986, 7.869. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1954 and 2006.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
