Cherasco

Cherasco is a compact Piedmontese town in the Province of Cuneo with an unusual concentration of historic churches for its size, a Baroque synagogue built in the 1700s with a notable Torah ark and bimah, and a 14th-century Visconti Castle commissioned by Luchino Visconti, Lord of Milan. The town entered history on 28 April 1796, when Napoleon Bonaparte and Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia signed an armistice here. The compact centre has cafés and restaurants, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
