Via Madonna degli Angeli, 21, Fossano

The cluster sits on the plain and lower foothills of the Po basin where the terrain begins to rise toward the Cottian/Maritime Alps; the higher Alpine massifs lie beyond the immediate 15 km radius. Surface drainage is part of the Po river system, with local streams and irrigation canals feeding larger tributaries of the Tanaro/Po. There are no national parks or UNESCO landscape designations within 15 km; the Alpi Marittime/Maritime Alps protected areas are tens of kilometres to the south/southwest. Nearest alpine ski areas (e.g. resorts around Prato Nevoso/Frabosa Soprana and the Mondolè massif) are roughly 40–60 km by car (around an hour or more). Fossano itself contains the Castello degli Acaja and a historic town centre. Savigliano (population roughly 20–25k) is about 10–15 km away and offers a railway station and routine services; the provincial capital Cuneo with larger hospital and provincial administration is further to the south. Fossano has rail connections on regional lines and the A6 (Turin–Savona) motorway has exits within a 10–20 minute drive, providing road links to Turin and the Ligurian coast. The immediate surrounding countryside is mainly arable farmland, some orchards and light industry/agro-processing; the wider Cuneo province is known for wine, hazelnuts and truffles, but the principal wine and truffle centres (e.g. Alba and the Langhe) lie outside a 15 km radius.
