The patron saint of Viganò is saint Apollonia, and on the first Sunday after 9 February the village fries sweet ravioli: filled with cocoa, amaretti, citron, biscuits and milk. Every family has its own recipe, handed down from one generation to the next, and the ravioli are not sold: they are given away to friends and relatives in the days before or after the feast. In the municipal gym, meanwhile, they put up the exhibition of paintings and photographs made by the people of Viganò.
The village, for the rest, is small and spent more than a century being annexed to somebody else: to Sirtori in 1809, to Barzanò in 1928, and only in 1953 did it become a comune again. Its feudal lords had been the Sirtori, then the Giussani, then the Villata; the municipal coat of arms, on the other hand, takes up that of the Viganò, the Milanese noble family that has the same name as the village.
