Ceresole was the location of the ending cliffhanger scene in the 1969 filmThe Italian Job.
The adjectiveReale meaning 'royal' was conferred to the municipality because it hosted the royal hunting pavilions of theHouse of Savoy. It was therefore allowed to use the royal shield and the royal crown as the Commune's coat of arms. The only other commune that was allowed this privilege wasVenaria Reale, as it hosted another hunting reserve and aroyal palace of the Savoyard kings.
