In approximately 1034, Emperor Conrad II bequeathed the Maurienne region to Humbert the First "of the White Hands". Humbert, the founder of the Savoie dynasty, expanded his territory to the other side of the mountain, taking over the Suse Valley and establishing the region as the "Gateway to the Alps." The Maurienne nurtured the talents of locally-born artists who, influenced by Baroque art coming over the border from Italy, worked here and on the Piedmontese mountain slopes of Mont Cenis during the 17th and 18th centuries.
