What Mondovì is actually like
Mondovì, located in the heart of Piemonte, offers a unique lifestyle for foreign expats and retirees. This charming town features notable historical landmarks, including the picturesque Piazza Maggiore and the panoramic Belvedere Tower. Its old town, Mondovì Piazza, is rich in architecture and history, providing a sense of stepping back in time. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate hiking and biking opportunities amidst the rolling hills and vineyards of the surrounding countryside, while local markets offer delicacies such as truffles and esteemed wines like Barolo. Culturally, Mondovì hosts events like the Festa della Ceramica and the Mondovì Jazz Festival, enriching the community atmosphere. However, while the town boasts good health care and air quality, access to larger urban amenities is somewhat limited, with the nearest beach over an hour away. Nevertheless, its excellent transport links and community-focused lifestyle make it a noteworthy consideration for expats seeking the charm of rural Italy.
How Mondovì is built
Mixed-fabric comune
Building age, condition and occupancy from the ISTAT census (2011), by census section. Occupancy is shown as one honest split — the 2011 census does not reliably separate holiday homes from vacant ones.
