PROVINCE OF CUNEO

'Cuneo' is a province in the southwest of the Piedmont region of Italy. To the west it borders on the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Hautes-Alpes).
To the north it borders on the province of Turin.
To the east it borders on the province of Asti.
To the south it borders on the Ligurian provinces of Savona and Imperia.
It is also known as the Provincia Granda, the big province, because it is the biggest province in Italy. This has created problems in the past with the Alba's inhabitants, frustrated from the long trip to Cuneo every time they need to have business with the province government. Several times the issue of dividing the province into two has been brought up.

Its capital is the city of Cuneo. Of the 250 communes in the province, the largest by population are:
