Demographic evolution

The municipality has always been a small inhabited center and over the years the population has remained almost stable. According to the data from the last census, carried out in 2019, the resident population was 125 inhabitants.

Administration

Like all Italian municipalities, Rocca Cigliè is governed by a municipal administration. Below is a table summarizing the various administrations that have succeeded over the years.

Other administrative information

The municipality was part of the Alto Tanaro Cebano Monregalese mountain community, an entity that grouped together several municipalities in the area and was responsible for managing some policies at the local level.

Infrastructure and transport

If you decide to visit Rocca Cigliè, I recommend you take a trip to the old railway station, located about 5 kilometers from the village center. Here, in fact, is the Rocca Cigliè Station, which, unfortunately, was closed following the damage caused by the 1994 flood.
