Religious complexes worthy of note are the Church of Santa Chiara and the Church of Santa Croce, an important example of Piedmontese Baroque architecture designed by Francesco Gallo, a monregalese architect.<\/p>\n<p>The most fascinating sights are probably the narrow streets of Contrada Mondov\u00ec with the former Jewish ghetto and the synagogue and, nearby, Toselli Theatre. Its 13 kilometres of arcades make this city easy to walk (remember that bicycles must be pushed and not ridden under the arcades) and the restaurants here compete with each other to serve the best traditional local cuisines. Difficult to decide which is the best dining choice, but you can\u2019t really go wrong with those on the centrally positioned Via Roma.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1999910464\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ibikecuneo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img232-1024x547.jpg\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"1020\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ibikecuneo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img232-1024x547.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ibikecuneo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img232-1024x547.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ibikecuneo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img232-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ibikecuneo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img232-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ibikecuneo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img232.jpg 1165w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1999910464 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"text-center\"><div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"margin-top:1.8em;margin-bottom:1.8em;max-width:68px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p>Huge <strong>Piazza Galimberti<\/strong> is the real heart of the city and also the market square on Tuesdays and venue for festivals. Its arcades are home to the Arione pastry shop, where even Hemingway stopped to buy the famous meringue, chocolate and rum <strong>cuneesi<\/strong>, still today exactly as this great American writer would have seen it.<\/p>\n<p>Piazza Galimberti is named after the local hero, <strong>Duccio Galimberti<\/strong>, son of a minister and an Austrian intellectual. Trained as a lawyer, in July 1943 he stood at the window of his office in what was then Piazza Vittorio (which would become Piazza Galimberti in his honour) and addressed the crowd in the fight against Nazi-Fascism. He died in 1944 after being captured and tortured by his enemies, but thanks to his charisma he is still a key (and symbolic) figure of the Resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Today it is possible to visit the <strong>Galimberti House Museum<\/strong>, which houses works of figurative art and reproduces a very interesting family environment.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\"
