Cuneo is a capital of the fourth largest Italian province where six valleys between Liguria and France come together. Here in Cuneo, you can admire the seventeenth-century Cathedral of Santa Maria del Bosco with the wonderful altarpiece by Andrea Pozzo, which overlooks the main street - Via Roma - bordered by arcades; the church of Santa Chiara, with its sinuous curvilinear façade; Palazzo Audifreddi, with its beautiful red brick austere façade, and the church dedicated to the patron saint of Milan, Sant'Ambrogio, a reminder of the devotion of a group of Milanese citizens who rushed to help Cuneo in 1230 for its reconstruction, after the cruel assault of the Marquis of Saluzzo. Contrada Mondovì, with its low arcades, was in ancient times one of the most important mandatory passageways to the city across the Gesso river. Here we discover the fifteenth-century synagogue, the fulcrum of the ancient ghetto, palaces and sacred buildings such as the church of San Sebastiano that tell us about the urban evolution of the area. Piazza Duccio Galimberti, with its surprising dimensions is the meeting point between ancient and modern and it is surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafés which are the city’s true institutions.
