A typical elegant and Savoy-style Piedmontese city, Cuneo captivates and fascinates anyone who decides to visit, even just for a day, because every corner breathes mountain air and echoes of the Risorgimento. The best way to explore Cuneo is on foot, wandering through its narrow streets and strolling under the arcades, discovering its small yet concentrated historic center: a true precious treasure where art, history, and culture blend with nature.
The vast Piazza Galimberti on one side and Piazza Torino on the other, with Via Roma and its arcades in between, are highlights. Don’t miss Contrada Mondovì, one of the city’s most characteristic areas: a real gem with its arcades, Gothic arches, and typically medieval alleys, transporting visitors back in time to distant eras. Visiting Cuneo means indulging in art and culture—but also great food.
This small Piedmontese town is a genuine paradise for food lovers, especially those passionate about wine and gastronomy tourism. It’s worth taking time to savor all the typical local culinary specialties. The province of Cuneo offers a cuisine inspired by ancient traditions, with recipes passed down through generations. The irresistible aroma of the local tagliolini with truffle stands out, along with agnolotti, both representing the excellence of first courses in the entire Cuneo area. Also notable are the prized chestnuts with IGP certification, used in typical local desserts, delicious cheeses, and mouth-watering meat dishes like the classic bollito misto and braised Barolo beef.
