Cuneo has notable cultural, artistic and historical assets. The city was founded in 1198. Today, its architecture still bears the marks of its rich history with gates, portals, and other important historic buildings.
1,35 square kilometers of public green spaces turned Cuneo into the "green capital city of Piedmont". Moreover, Cuneo is bordered by the Gesso and Stura River Park, a protected natural area of over 4500 hectares where people can enjoy walking and biking trails next to the river, with an outstanding view on the mountains.
Besides, Cuneo is planning its future with great attention paid to environmental values. The general town plan has drawn a balanced developing town, modern and rich in facilities, still able to maintain and take care of its rich patrimony of culture, sense of beauty and harmonious way of living. The city council produced the Piano Strategico (strategic plan) to improve Cuneo's goals as regards the environment. This project fully involves the local community and aims for a common future. A strategic planning define the actions and projects to achieve the objective.
Cuneo is set to host the 5th Conference of the International Network of Michelin Cities in 2026.
