Tavernette is a frazione (neighbourhood) of Cumiana, in Piedmont, northern Italy. Its name comes from the latin tabernae [2] (in English tavern or country pub).
It is a borough located in the Chisola Valley, in the easternmost part of Cottian Alps, some kilometers south-east from the centre of Cumiana. The Monte Tre Denti and Monte Freidour peaks are located nearby.
Since 1928 Tavernette was a separate comune (municipality); before 1801 it also encompassed the present-day municipality of Piscina, located in the Po plain.[3]
