Watch Cuneo webcams online - resorts in Italy
Cuneo webcams, which you can watch online on this site, will open the amazing expanses of this province, rich in picturesque natural places, architectural, cultural and historical monuments, as well as a pleasant bonus in the form of gastronomic traditions and ethnic festivals.
Although the province of Cuneo is not considered such a popular region among tourists, there is something to see and wonder about. In addition to the main city of Cuneo, the district includes such colorful cities as Alba, Ossano, Savilno and others.
The main feature of Cuneo is local products, which are famous far beyond the borders of the region and even the country.
For example, Alba produces chocolate and high-quality textiles, sports equipment, and printed matter. Fossano produces excellent confectionery. In the tiny town of Chervaska, they create world-famous metal-mechanical products under the Merlot brand.
Bra produces plastic coatings, laminate, and also holds cheese festivals. And in Savigliano they produce equipment for railway stations and networks. Santa Vittoria d'Alba is known for its distillery, which produces delicious vermouth and champagne. And in Verzuolo, Europe's largest paper manufactory operates.
The city of Cuneo itself is located in a picturesque valley of the southwestern alpine slopes. Many call Cuneo the city of arts and culture. The name of the city is translated as "wedge" and was given to him for a reason. After all, the plateau, on which its picturesque streets are spread, has the shape of an elongated triangle.
To date, about 55 thousand citizens live in Cuneo, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, not counting tourists.
Protected by mountain slopes, Cuneo enjoys a temperate climate with pleasant summers and not too cold winters. In the summer months, the average air temperature is around 22 degrees. In the middle of winter, the thermometer can drop to -2 degrees. The area is characterized by low rainfall. At the same time, Cuneo is considered the snowiest city in all of Piedmont.
Cuneo was founded at the end of the 12th century. Its heart is located just at the top of the wedge, from which, over the years, other streets and quarters have passed, full of amazing architectural monuments.
The old part of the city and the modern quarters, which were built after the fall of the city walls at the beginning of the 19th century, depart from Glimberti Square. The square was named after a national hero who became famous during the period of the Italian Resistance and was a native of Cuneo. On the square is the house-museum of the figure, as well as the library of his family. The center of the square is decorated with a monument to Giuseppe Barbarossa, a figure who made an invaluable contribution to the development of the city and the region.
Every Tuesday, a large market unfolds on Glimberti Square, where you can buy products not only from local merchants, but also see participants from Liguria and France.
An important tourist attraction in Cuneo is the Cathedral of Nostra Signora del Bosco. It was founded in the 17th century, reconstructed in the 18th century and completed in the 19th. It was at this moment that a colorful facade appeared here, made in the neoclassical style with a large-scale main entrance, decorated with high columns of the Corinthian order and a relief pediment. The top of the building is also crowned with a neoclassical dome, which is painted on the inside with luxurious frescoes belonging to the hand of Toselli. Wooden choirs have been preserved from the original construction. The internal construction of the temple has the shape of a Greek cross. The interiors are painted by people from Piedmont.
Another interesting temple is the Church of St. Sebastian, which was built in the XIV century.
Unfortunately, to our time the structure has not retained its original appearance. Already in the 17th century, a large-scale reconstruction was carried out here, which changed the facade. And in the XIX century the temple was completely rebuilt. From the 16th century, the interior of the building has been preserved, in particular the wooden choir stalls, created by Tommaso Fontano.
You should definitely see the Church of the Holy Cross, which has an unusual semicircular facade concave inward, with decorative elements inherent in the Baroque style. The building was erected in the XVIII century. The inner part of the temple is valuable for its wooden pulpit, made in the Gothic style, as well as the canvas depicting the Madonna and Child, painted by Moncalvo, dating from the 17th-18th centuries.
Among other architectural monuments of Cuneo, it is worth noting the Church of St. Ambrose, the Tower Palace and the City Museum with a stunning collection of ancient dolls and other historical artifacts.
