Pinerolo is a town north-western Italy, southwest of Turin on the river Chisone.
This engraving is one of a series of engravings of fortified towns and ports which were subjected to attack during the Nine Years' War. The Nine Years' War (1688–97) alternatively called the War of the Grand Alliance was a major war of the late 17th century fought primarily on mainland Europe but also encompassing theatres in Ireland and North America. The Nine Years' War was the first of the truly global wars. The Alliance, primarily against France, was led principally by the Anglo-Dutch Stadtholder-King William III, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, King Charles II of Spain, and Victor Amadeus, Duke of Savoy.
