Mondovì — Piazza e Funicolare
Piedmont
Mondovì grew as two distinct settlements — the lower Breo and the upper Piazza — connected since 1885 by one of Italy's oldest surviving funicular railways, still in daily use. The upper piazza's Baroque architecture and views over the surrounding hills reward the short, effortless ride up.
