Places to see in ( Cuneo - Italy )
Places to see in ( Cuneo - Italy )
Cuneo is a city and comune in Piedmont, Northern Italy, the capital of the province of Cuneo, the third largest of Italy’s provinces by area. It is located at 550 metres in the south-west of Piedmont, at the confluence of the rivers Stura and Gesso. There is a raft of reasons why you should drop by stately Cuneo, not least being the food, the bike friendliness, the hiking possibilities nearby, and, last but certainly not least, the city's signature rum-filled chocolates.
Sitting on a promontory of land between two rivers, Cuneo also provides excellent Alpine views framed by the high pyramid-shaped peak of Monte Viso (3841m) in the Cottian Alps.
Including all bordering municipalities Beinette, Borgo San Dalmazzo, Boves, Busca, Caraglio, Castelletto Stura, Centallo, Cervasca, Morozzo, Peveragno, Tarantasca and Vignolo the population is 123,301 inhabitants. It is near six important mountain passes:
Colle della Maddalena at 1,996 metres (6,549 ft)
Colle di Tenda at 1,871 metres (6,138 ft) - Tunnel of Tenda at 1,300 metres (4,300 ft), 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long
Colle del Melogno at 1,027 metres (3,369 ft)
Colle San Bernardo at 957 metres (3,140 ft)
Colle di Nava at 934 metres (3,064 ft)
Colle di Cadibona at 459 metres (1,506 ft).
Cuneo was founded in 1198 by the local population, who declared it an independent commune, freeing themselves from the authority of the bishops of Asti and the marquisses of Montferrat and Saluzzo. In 1210 the latter occupied it, and in 1231 the Cuneesi rebelled. In 1238 they were recognized as free commune by Emperor Frederick II.
In 1259 the independence of Cuneo ceased forever, as it gave itself, also to take protection against its more powerful neighbours, to Charles I of Anjou, who was then King of Naples and Count of Provence. Together with Alba, it was the main Angevine possession in Northern Italy; their rule (in fact interrupted by periods under Saluzzo, Savoy, the Visconti of Milan) ended in 1382 when Cuneo was acquired by the Duchy of Savoy.
Alot to see in Cuneo :
Villa Oldofredi Tadini, built in the 14th and 15th centuries as a watchtower. It is now a museum housing collections of the owners, the Mocchia and Oldofredi Tadini families.
Villa Tornaforte, surrounded by an English-style park.
Civic Museum
Railway Museum

New Bridge (Ponte Nuovo) between the center of the city and Madonna dell' Olmo

Most important and populated: Centro storico, Cuneo centro, Cuneo nuova, San Paolo, Donatello, Gramsci, San Rocco, Cerialdo, Confreria and Borgo San Giuseppe.

Saluzzo (CN) - Capitale del Marchesato
Il piemontese borgo di Saluzzo, in provincia di Cuneo, è sicuramente uno dei borghi medievali meglio conservati della regione, e uno tra i più belli; ma non tra i più rinomati, per questo motivo (o per nostra colpa) ne conoscevamo il nome ma non ne immaginavamo la bellezza.
Foto informazioni e mappe:
Una inconsapevolezza che regala comunque maggiore emozione, dato che non eravamo preparati alla bellezza di questo prezioso, e oggi tranquillo, antico borgo.
Il Marchesato di Saluzzo era uno tra i più antichi stati di quel territorio che sarebbe poi diventato l'Italia, nasce infatti come stato feudale ben prima delle varie signorie rinascimentali; occupava parte dei terreni della provincia di Cuneo, di Torino e, nel periodo di maggiore espansione, anche alcune zone oggi francesi; compresso tra i domini dei Savoia e quelli della Francia non riuscirà a accrescere ulteriormente i suoi possedimenti.
Per questo divenne prima alleato e poi vassallo con successiva annessione da parte del regno di Francia; fino al 1601 quando, merce di scambio, divenne possesso dei Savoia.

O Que Conhecer No Piemonte? Saluzzo A Capital do Marchesato - Visita Museo della Memoria Carceraria
Nesse vídeo andaremos pelas ruas de Saluzzo, uma pequena cidade no Piemonte, na Itália que foi cenário de muita história e disputa, quando a Família Savoia e a França brigavam por esse pedaço de terra, visitaremos também dois museus o della Civiltà Cavalleresca Saluzzo e o museu della Memoria Carceraria, além disso você encontrará dicas de restaurantes nesse vídeo. Abaixo segue mais informações sobre os museus:
Museo della Civiltà Cavalleresca Saluzzo
Nesse andar setecentista de Castile di Saluzzo, uma exposição multimídia apresenta, à luz da história europeia, os traços emergentes da identidade cultural expressos pelos Marqueses de Saluzzo e pelas classes dirigentes a eles ligados entre os séculos XII e XV.
O Museu está dividido em 11 salas, cada uma das quais ilumina um aspecto ou um momento significativo da sociedade cavalheiresca e cortês do Marquesado, apresentando um ou mais personagens-chave: casamentos, carreiras eclesiásticas e militares, referências literárias colocam Saluzzo no centro de um sistema de relações de tempos em tempos com o papado, o Império e o Reino da França.
Para conhecer as histórias de alguns marqueses de Saluzzo terá que subir ao Museu da Civilização Cavalariada. Lá você não encontrará um relato cronológico e oportuno de todos os senhores de Saluzzo, mas uma série de sugestões que têm o objetivo de apresentá-lo ao mundo de um pequeno tribunal. A narração sublinha que, como argumentou Tommaso III di Saluzzo, as possibilidades de afirmação de um Estado são em parte devidas às capacidades de quem o governa e dos cidadãos e, em parte, dependem do acaso ou melhor, de Madama Fortuna, ou seja a sorte.
Um dos aspectos mais interessantes da exposição é o de ter inserido numerosas reproduções de obras de arte espalhadas pelo território e também provenientes de outros locais da Itália e da Europa, mas todas ligadas à história do Saluzzo. A rota, portanto, também sugere novas viagens em uma espécie de caça ao tesouro ao redor do Piemonte e além dos Alpes.
Museo della Memoria Carceraria
O retrato da história da primeira prisão moderna do reino de Sabóia foi inaugurada em 1828, acompanhou a fase do Risorgimento, as primeiras décadas da unidade nacional, os vinte anos do Fascismo, o advento da República até ao seu encerramento em 1992, cada um desses períodos históricos correspondeu a diferentes concepções de punição e diferentes opções de política criminal.
O Museu da Memória Prisional, cuja direção científica está a cargo do Professor Claudio Sarzotti, da Universidade de Torino, retoma esses acontecimentos, considerando-os um episódio importante na história de uma instituição que marcou a formação das democracias ocidentais modernas: a prisão disciplinar.
Exposições de grande impacto emocional, apoiadas em documentações de um arquivo de impecável rigor científico, combinam-se para propor o itinerário museológico no subsolo do castelo. O tema da prisão é relacionada a objetos encontrados nas celas quando, em 1992, foi desativada.
Pessoas famosas nas multimídias do museu de Tocqueville a Bentham, de Lombroso a Pellico, de Cavour a Giulia Falletti Marchesa di Barolo, bandidos perigosos como o terrível Francesco Delpero , assim como os presos antifascistas (incluindo Rodolfo Morandi que deu nome ao atual presídio de Saluzzo).
Uma reflexão de 360 graus sobre a prisão não poderia esquecer suas relações inesgotáveis com o mundo da arte, do cinema, da literatura, da música. Uma biblioteca multimídia permitirá que você explore os espaços virtuais de Castela nas histórias e personagens (reais e virtuais, além da famosa pintura de Van Gogh A patrulha dos presos (que inspirou toda a montagem da sala.
Fico muito feliz em responder suas dúvidas ou sugestões deixadas nos comentários.

Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy, Europe
Alba is a town and comune of Piedmont, Italy, in the province of Cuneo. It is considered the capital of the UNESCO Human Heritage hilly area of Langhe, and is famous for its white truffle, peach and wine production. The confectionery group Ferrero is based there. Alba's origins date from before the Roman civilization, connected probably to the presence of Celtic and Ligurian tribes in the area. The modern town occupies the site of ancient Alba Pompeia, the name given after being officially recognized as a town by the Roman consul Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo while constructing a road from Aquae Statiellae (Acqui) to Augusta Taurinorum (Turin). Alba was the birthplace of Publius Helvius Pertinax, briefly Roman emperor in 193. After the fall of the Western Empire, the city was repeatedly sacked by Ostrogoths, Burgundians, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks, Hungarians and Saracens. In the 11th century it became a free commune (or city-state) and was a member of the Lombard League. Montferrat and the Visconti fought over the town; later it became a possession of the Gonzaga. Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy conquered it twice, while later France and Spain battled for its possession. The Treaty of Cherasco (1631) assigned Alba definitively to Savoy. During Napoleonic Wars, it was part of the Republic of Alba (1796) and of the Subalpine Republic, both French clients, before being annexed to the French Empire in 1802. It was an arrondissement center in firstly Tanaro department between 1802-1805, later in Stura one between 1805-1814 before liberation by Austrian troops. It was returned to Kingdom of Sardinia in 1814. Alba won a Gold Medal for Military Valour for the heroic activity of its citizens in the Italian resistance movement during the course of World War II. On 10 October 1944, the town was liberated by partisans who established a Republic of Alba which for a few weeks was able to maintain its independence from the Fascist Republic of Salò. The republic lasted to 2 November 1944, when Republic of Salo retook it. It was finally liberated by French troops on 2 May 1945.
