Colle Sestriere, Col de Sestriere, is a mountain pass in the Cottian Alps. It is occupied by the town of Sestriere in the Province of Turin, Italy. It is 17 km (11 mi) from the French border. Its name derives from Latin: ad petram sistrariam, that is at sixty Roman miles from Turin.
It is a famous starting and arrival point in the Tour de France (7 appearances, 1952 - 1999 ) and the Giro d'Italia (4 appearances, 1991 - 1911). In 1952, Fausto Coppi was the first to record a stage win at Sestriere, while Charly Gaul is credited with the first crossing in 1956. Notably, it was the scene of a definitive moment in Lance Armstrong's career when he rode away from the field in a breakaway uphill finish to take the stage in the 1999 Tour de France, which was the first of his seven championships in that race. He has since been stripped of the titles.

The Colle della Rho (in Italian) or Col de la Roue (in French) is a mountain col at 2,541 metres (8,337 ft), at the border between the massif des Cerces and the Cottian Alps.History
The Colle della Rho, during antiquity, was one of the most frequented connections between Susa Valley and Maurienne; close to it some Roman coins have been found.
From the Middle Ages on, several battles and skirmish occurred on the pass, which was located at first on the border between Dauphiné and Savoy (up to the Peace of Utrecht, 1713) and later, from 1860 on, between France and Italy. The last fights near the col were connected to the Italian invasion of France (June 1940).Geography
The pass is located on the border between France and Italy. It connects, from South to North, Bardonecchia (Italy) to Modane (France). It consists in a wide saddle between the Gran Bagna (3,083 m, SW of the pass) and the Roc de Jany (2,657 m, East), a satellite summit of the Punta Nera (3,047 m).
The path over the mountain pass is not paved. It can be reached by mountain bike.

The Colle della Rho (in Italian) or Col de la Roue (in French) is a mountain col at 2,541 metres (8,337 ft), at the border between the massif des Cerces and the Cottian Alps.Toponymy
The col was named in Latin Collis Rotae (literally Col of the Wheel), the same meaning of its present-day French name, Col de la Roue. On the official Italian maps at the beginning of the 20th century was added a "h" to an old name of the col, Colle della Rô, turning it in Colle della Rhô. Later on, the circumflex accent was lost, ending up in Colle della Rho, the present-day most common Italian name of the col. However, on some editions of the Italian official maps of IGM and on the technical map adopted by the Regione Piemonte the circumflex accent still appears.

Unlike his paternal first cousin's son, the 1.98 m (6-foot 6") tall Amedeo, 3rd Duke of Aosta, Victor Emmanuel was short of stature even by 19th-century standards, to the point that today he would appear diminutive. He was just 1.53 m tall (just over 5 feet). From birth until his accession, Victor Emmanuel was known as "The Prince of Naples". On 24 October 1896, he married Princess Elena of Montenegro.Honours

Victor Emmanuel III (11 November 1869 – 28 December 1947), born Vittorio Emanuele Ferdinando Maria Gennaro di Savoia, was King of Italy from 29 July 1900 until his abdication on 9 May 1946. A member of the House of Savoy, he also reigned as Emperor of Ethiopia (1936–1941) and King of the Albanians (1939–1943). During his reign of nearly 46 years, which began after the assassination of his father Umberto I, the Kingdom of Italy became involved in two world wars. His reign also encompassed the birth, rise, and fall of the Fascist regime in Italy.
The first fourteen years of Victor Emmanuel's reign were dominated by prime minister Giovanni Giolitti who focused on industrialization and passed several democratic reforms such as the introduction of universal male suffrage; in foreign policy, Giolitti's Italy distanced herself from the fellow members of the Triple Alliance (Germany and Austria) and colonized Libya following the Italo-Turkish War. Giolitti was succeeded by Antonio Salandra, Paolo Boselli, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. The First World War brought about Italian victory over the Habsburg Empire and the annexation of the Italian-speaking provinces of Trento and Trieste. For this reason, Victor Emmanuel was labelled the "King of Victory". In practice, the peace treaties failed to give Italy all the territories promised in the 1915 Treaty of London. Italian nationalists protested against what they defined as a "mutilated victory", demanded the annexation of territories in Dalmatia, and temporarily occupied the town of Fiume without royal assent.
During the early 1920s, several short-serving prime ministers, including the well-respected Giolitti, serving an unprecedented fifth term as prime minister, could not unify the country in the face of the growing Italian fascist movement. Strengthened by the economic downturn facing the country, the National Fascist Party led the March on Rome, and he appointed Benito Mussolini as prime minister. Victor Emmanuel remained silent on the domestic political abuses of Fascist Italy, and he accepted the additional crowns of the Emperor of Ethiopia in 1936 and the King of Albania in 1939 as a result of Italian imperialism under fascism. When World War II broke out in 1939, Victor Emmanuel advised Mussolini against entering the war. In June 1940, he relented and granted Mussolini sweeping powers to enter and conduct the war.
Amidst the Allied invasion of Italy in 1943, Victor Emmanuel deposed Mussolini and signed the armistice of Cassible with the Allies in September 1943. In the face of the coming German reprisal (Operation Achse), he and the government fled to Brindisi while the Germans established the Italian Social Republic as a puppet state in northern Italy. He switched sides and declared war on Germany in October. He battled constantly with Allied command and under pressure from the Allies he transferred most of his powers to his son in June 1944, effectively ending his involvement in the war and in the government of Italy. Victor Emmanuel officially abdicated his throne in 1946 in favour of his son, who became King Umberto II, hoping to strengthen support for the monarchy against an ultimately successful referendum to abolish it.
After the 1946 Italian institutional referendum, Victor Emmanuel went into exile to Alexandria, where he died and was buried the following year in St. Catherine's Cathedral, Alexandria. In 2017, his remains were returned to rest in Italy following an agreement between presidents Sergio Mattarella and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Victor Emmanuel was also called Sciaboletta ("little saber") by some Italians.Exile and death
In any event, once the referendum's result was certified, Victor Emmanuel and all other male members of the House of Savoy were required to leave the country. Taking refuge in Egypt, where he was welcomed with great honour by King Farouk, Victor Emmanuel died in Alexandria a year later, of pulmonary congestion. He was interred behind the altar of St Catherine's Cathedral. He was the last surviving grandchild of Victor Emmanuel II of Italy. In 1948, Time magazine included an article about "The Little King".

Early years
Victor Emmanuel III was born in Naples in the Kingdom of Italy to King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy, the Queen consort. He was named after his grandfather, Victor Emmanuel II, King of Sardinia and later King of Italy. Unlike his paternal first cousin's son, the 1.98 m (6-foot 6") tall Amedeo, 3rd Duke of Aosta, Victor Emmanuel was short of stature even by 19th-century standards, to the point that today he would appear diminutive. He was just 1.53 m tall (just over 5 feet). From birth until his accession, Victor Emmanuel was known as "The Prince of Naples". On 24 October 1896, he married Princess Elena of Montenegro.
