Ranking as the fourth largest municipality in the province of Cuneo with 24,710 residents, Fossano is deeply tied to the Italian commercial baking industry. The town is the manufacturing base for confectionery heavyweights Balocco and Maina, which anchor the local economy.
While baked goods drive its modern reputation, the area is also sustained by established metallurgical, chemical, and textile operations. Fossano functions as a strategic transit hub on the primary railway connecting Turin to Savona and Cuneo, alongside a branch line routing into Mondovì.
