With a population of just 55,744, Cuneo is a small city in the mountains of northern Italy that comes with its fair share of challenges. The brutal winters and heavy bureaucracy can be a persistent headache for newcomers. While the city boasts a charming historic center and proximity to scenic mountain passes, the nearest major international airport is over 80 miles away. Cuneo is best suited for those seeking a tranquil, slow-paced lifestyle in a picturesque alpine setting, but who don't mind braving the region's harsh climate and red tape.
