Rorà is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 50 km southwest of Turin. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 266 and an area of 12.3 km².[1]
The municipality of Rorà contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Ruà.
Rorà borders the following municipalities: Villar Pellice, Torre Pellice, Luserna San Giovanni, and Bagnolo Piemonte.
In the 1300's, this relatively autonomic community defended against invading Catholic forces under the control of an evil Cardinal warlord. James Byron Huggins's 2001 historical novel Rora [2] describes this event. The villagers are led by the heroic Joshua Gianavel to a bitter victory.[3]
