Pralormo The country lies on a hill situated in a transition area between Pianalto the furthest reaches of the beginning of the Roero. The name is a combination of two words "Pratum to ulmum" , firmly established as probably the Lombard tradition of planting trees (elm, oak, etc.) Symbolic points in the village.
The last example of monumental elm, which occupied the corner of Via Carlo Morbelli place and Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, 900 fell in early because of lightning: two photographs, depicting the 'specimen before and after the disaster, are preserved in the Council Chamber and are framed with bark recovered from the trunk.
of citations Pralormo to appear in the thirteenth century. but it is the opinion of many historians that the origin is more ancient and that the local 'is identified with the "Predarolo" mentioned in the act of donation of March 14, 1065 in which Adelaide of Susa , daughter of the Marquis of Susa and Turin Olderico Count Manfredo II, yielded different lands to the bishop of Asti.
As already mentioned, the most significant historical events for the formation of the historical center of Pralormo are concentrated in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries , meets planning brought to completion by the then-powerful town of Asti in order to render more secure the trade routes of the merchants from Asti to Europe. In fact, at the beginning of the '200 Pralormo seems to be divided between two major families: the lords of Anterisio and Desaya one hand, who controlled the area from Ceresole Stuerda to the river to Rio Verde, Gorzano and the other part, extending their influence westward to the edge of the hills that overlook the river Rio Verde.
documents found by the poor show that the first settlement of Pralormo was located southeast of the country, in places where today stands the shrine dedicated to St. Donatus, the patron saint of the community. As evidence of this there are many remains, including human, demonstrating the presence of a cemetery and the ancient settlement later abandoned and moved to the current site as a result of the war between the lords of Biandrate and the town of Asti.
The authoritative expert on the history of the Roero Baldassarre Molino supports the hypothesis that the new center of Pralormo arose simultaneously with that of other countries such Poirino, Channel, Montà, Buttigliera d'Asti in the mid-thirteenth century. In 1276 as inferred from an agreement with the town of Asti, the Gorzano seem to be the only lords of the castle and place of Pralormo. However at the beginning of the fourteenth century we find the consignor of the fief of Pralormo Pelletta e qualche decennio più avanti i Roero, famiglia che conserverà il feudo almeno in parte fino agli anni Venti dell’Ottocento.
Secondo il Guasco, il 17 novembre 1339 Giovanni Secondo Paleologo Marchese di Monferrato e signore di Asti, investì del luogo Manfreacio (o Manfredo) Roero. Il feudo fu variamente ripartito fra diversi consignori: alle tre linee costituite dai figli di Manfreacio si aggiunsero altre famiglie che per brevi periodi godettero di porzioni anche minime di castello, giurisdizione, beni. I secoli XVI e XVII furono molto importanti nella storia del feudo perché alla famiglia dei Roero si affiancarono nuove famiglie: i Costa della Trinità e di Polonghera, i Petrina, i Dal Pozzo di Voghera, the Beraudo, and Ferrero della Marmora.
Everything depended on the fact that in the sixteenth century they became extinct two lines of Roero whose heritage it is, by virtue of marriage agreements, costs and Arignano Polonghera and costs of the Trinity. In fact, in 1574 Luciana and Catherine Roero Roero last descendants of Jerome divided the paternal inheritance. This act is an important moment in the history of Pralormo for two reasons: the first is that it contains valuable information on the history of the country and the farms that were part of the division of inheritance, the second is that from here began many inheritance and disposals leading new families in the feud.
The November 15, 1679 Cristina Broglia, widow of George Maria Costa of the Trinity, gave up one third of the manor to James Beraudo who was invested in May 1680 . James, chairman of the Senate, also got 20 January 1680 granting the title of count for the portion of the jurisdiction acquired by him on the spot. Also in 1679 Felice Ferrero della Marmora bought from brother Francesco Costanzo Polonghera the remainder of the third and the castle.
