The history of Murello
Let's start with the history of Murello, which was officially recognized with its coat of arms and banner granted in 2003.

Unfortunately, there is not much information available, but we can imagine a past linked to agricultural activities, considering that agriculture is still one of the main pillars of the local economy.
Society in Murello
Like many other Italian cities, Murello has experienced a strong decrease in population in recent decades. According to population data as of 2019, the town has just 952 inhabitants. However, the town has become home to a multiethnic community: as of December 31, 2017, 56 foreign citizens were residing in Murello, mainly coming from India.
Infrastructure and Transport
Although today the town is mainly accessible by car, until 1959 Murello was served by a railway station located about 2 kilometers from the urban center. The stop, located along the Moretta-Cavallermaggiore railway, was located in the Tetti Spertini area. Over the years, the town has developed a good network of roads connecting it to the nearest city, Cuneo, and other surrounding areas.
Administration
Like every Italian municipality, Murello has had a series of administrations over the years. However, we do not have information on the policies, initiatives, and projects developed by individual administrations.
