The Cuneo Courthouse (Italian: Palazzo di Giustizia di Cuneo, lit. 'Palace of Justice of Cuneo') is a judicial building located on Piazza Galimberti in Cuneo, Italy.
History
[edit]The Cuneo Courthouse stands on Piazza Galimberti, the city's main square, developed in the 19th century as a neoclassical civic space. The square was designed in 1835 by the engineer and architect Benedetto Brunati, with construction proceeding in several phases.[1]
In 1860, under mayor Carlo Brunet, the original plan of the square was expanded to include additional buildings. As part of this enlargement, the courthouse was commissioned as a prominent structure, intentionally designed to be longer and taller than the surrounding palaces.[1] The building was completed and inaugurated in 1866, contributing to the final configuration of Piazza Galimberti.[2][3]
During the final years of World War II, the courthouse was temporarily used as a meeting point for volunteers of the Unione Nazionale Protezione Antiaerea (UNPA).[3]
Following the consolidation of the judicial offices of Mondovì and Saluzzo, the Civil Section, the Supervisory Office, and the Cuneo Bar Association were relocated to a secondary seat inaugurated on 31 May 2017 in Palazzo Lattes.[4]
