Frabosa Sottana: Prato Nevoso
Frabosa Sottana’s Prato Nevoso straddles a high ridge of the Ligurian Alps in Piedmont, and its elevated position has shaped it into a mountain resort. It forms part of the wider Mondolè Ski district in Cuneo Province, alongside Artesina and Frabosa Soprana. Lift stations, ski runs and purpose-built accommodation give the settlement a distinctly Alpine character, while the surrounding slopes mark the southern arc of the Alps. Local food culture is tied to the Cuneo mountains: Raschera, a cheese protected by DOP status, is produced in this part of Piedmont. Prato Nevoso combines mountain-sport infrastructure with the traditions of a highland economy.

The Maudagna Valley defines the setting of Frabosa Sottana — steep Ligurian Alpine slopes and scattered hamlets shape a community extending from the valley floor toward high grazing land. The municipality includes Prato Nevoso, a mountain resort within the Mondolè Ski area, closely linked with neighbouring Artesina and Frabosa Soprana. Frabosa Sottana belongs to the Monregalese territory around Mondovì, a Piedmontese area where mountain communities and the plains meet. Summer brings walkers and cyclists onto the surrounding routes, while winter centres on the ski season.

Piedmont occupies Italy’s northwestern corner, between the Alps, the Apennines and the Po Valley. The Po, Italy’s longest river, begins in the Cottian Alps and flows east across the region’s plains, while vine-covered hills define the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato areas. Turin, Piedmont’s principal city, was the first capital of unified Italy from 1861 to 1865 and remains closely associated with the House of Savoy, grand boulevards and chocolate-making. Beyond the city, the region’s identity ranges from Alpine valleys to rice fields around Vercelli and renowned wine country.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
