Fossano

Tucked along the edge of the Stura di Demonte valley on the Piedmont plain, Fossano is a place whose character is shaped by its elevated position above the river. Part of the province of Cuneo, it stands on a strategic terrace between Turin and the southern Alps. Its historic core retains the structure of a fortified Savoyard town, with arcaded Via Roma leading towards the Castello dei Principi d’Acaja, a four-towered fortress begun in the 14th century. The castle recalls Fossano’s role in the long political history of the House of Savoy, while the town’s markets reflect the agricultural setting of southern Piedmont.
