The Province of Cuneo (Italian: provincia di Cuneo; Piedmontese: provincia ëd Coni) is a province in the region of Piedmont in northern Italy. To the west, it borders the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Hautes-Alpes), to the north the Metropolitan City of Turin, to the east the province of Asti and to the south the Ligurian provinces of Savona and Imperia. It has 582,109 inhabitants.[5][6]

It is also known as la Provincia Granda (Piedmontese for 'The Big Province'), because it is the largest province in Piedmont and the fourth-largest in Italy (following Sassari, South Tyrol and Foggia).[7] Briga Marittima and Tenda were part of this province before their cession to France in 1947.[8]
