ABOUT CUNEO (at 10
Kms.) |

 Cuneo
is situated in northwest Italy's Piemonte (or Piedmont) Region,
where the Gesso and Stura di Demonte Rivers converge. About 60,000
residents here enjoy beautiful natural scenery at the foot of the
Alps.
Neoclassical architecture typifies Cuneo's cathedral and Piazza
Galiberti. The Via Roma is a favorite city street, featuring old
churches and offshooting alleys packed with shops and inns.
Monasteries and art laden sanctuaries grace the Cuneo countryside.
Epicureans may be familiar with Cuneo (also a province), as the area
produces some of Italy's best red wines and the world's tastiest
truffles. Local food processing prowess is also reflected in Cuneo's
cattle shows and the Fiera della Castagne (chestnut fair) held each
autumn.
Cuneo makes a great base for venturing out to Piemonte's national
parks. Nearby, the ancient hamlet of Limone Piemonte has developed
into a world class ski resort and favored summer retreat. |
