Cherasco
Cherasco is a municipality (comune) in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont. Its territory includes the hamlet (frazione) of Roreto, home to a municipal nursery built with PNRR funding that became known for a collective artwork unveiled in 2026 [1][2].
Roreto's municipal nursery
The municipal nursery on via Gandolfino in Roreto di Cherasco had been operating for almost a year by the time the «Futuro» mural was unveiled in November 2026, and it cares for 30 children aged 0 to 3 looked after by eight educators [1][2]. The facility stems from a project initially funded by the company Tesisquare, then donated to the Municipality of Cherasco, which obtained more than a million euros for it through a PNRR funding call [1]. Additional funding to cover rising construction costs and build the outdoor area and green space came from Banca di Cherasco (40,000 euros) and the Cherasco-based companies Tesisquare, Dimar, Atlante-Montello, Libellula and Sequal [1][2].
The «Futuro» mural
On 7 November 2026 the collective mural «Futuro» (Future) was unveiled in Roreto di Cherasco, running along the perimeter of the municipal nursery [1][2]. The work was completed in four weeks by dozens of volunteers — teachers, children's parents, neighbours, relatives and Banca di Cherasco employees — following a design by the Italian-Uruguayan artist Coco Cano, who lives between Carmagnola and Montevideo [1][2]. Cano has worked with Banca di Cherasco for several years, having designed its logo, the restyling of some branches, and the graphics of diaries and calendars [1][2]. The initiative was promoted by the bank with contributions from the Municipality of Cherasco and the Dutch company Sikkens, which specialises in paints and coatings [1][2]. The unveiling was attended by the president of the Piedmont Region, Alberto Cirio, who highlighted the value of investing in new generations and the collaboration between public bodies, businesses and the local area [1][2].
