    Located in the Piedmont region of Italy, Rivoli was a large refugee camp of approximately 1,650 displaced persons (DPs), most of them Jewish. Over 30 miles from Turin, near the Austrian border, Rivoli was prone to mass infiltration by Jewish DPs seeking emigration. In November 1946, the Joint (The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee) reported, "Rivoli camp was filled in suddenly and had trouble with water." The camp population, which was overwhelmingly male (944 of 987 adults in December 1946 were men), also complained of poor medical care by the UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration).
