What to visit

Mondovì surprises visitors with the charming alleys of its historic Borgo Piazza, but it is best known as Italy's hot-air ballooning capital: its particular geography makes it an ideal place for this evocative experience.

Every year, during Epiphany, the town comes alive with the International Hot-Air Balloon Gathering, a display of colour that paints the sky and enchants visitors from all over Italy.
