It was already mentioned in the year 1355 a.c as Mocoronum: its denomination comes from Latin “mucrone”, meaning “point” to describe the short plateau where it was settled.
Its alleys are narrow and winding, not allowing big cars to go through. At its entrance is a monument (sculptorist Riccardo Rossi) dedicated to Alberico Benedicenti (1866 Mondovi(CN) -1961 Mocrone), farmacologist and biologist known internationally. Around it also the noble palace Benedicenti.
