History
It first became an autonomous fief in 1619 when Giovanni Carron received the fiefs of Buttigliera, Uriola, and Case Nicola - as well as the title of Count - from Duke Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy.
From that point in time the history of Buttigliera was intimately tied with the history of the Carron family. The last member of the family, Clementina Carron, died in April 1912.
In the 20th century, the FIAT group established one of its metallurgical factories in Ferriera, a frazione of Buttigliera Alta.
"Frazione" is the Italian name given in administrative law to a type of territorial subdivision of a comune; for other administrative divisions, see municipio, circoscrizione, quartiere. It is cognate to the English word fraction, but in practice is roughly equivalent to "parishes" or "wards" in other countries.
Carron Giovanni was the First Duke of Buttigliera Alta. He was conferred the title as well as the fiefdom of the area, on April 25, 1619. His family, the Carrons, originated from Savoy, and established themselves in Turin in 1600, at the Lascaris Palace.
Carron Clementina was the granddaughter of Count Carron Giovanni. She was born in Turin.
