Patron saint festival In 288 days
Feast of Sant'Eusebio di Vercelli
📅 Every year, on 1 August
On 1 August Camagna Monferrato, a municipality of 510 inhabitants in the province of Alessandria, celebrates its patron Sant'Eusebio di Vercelli.
The name probably comes from the Latin castrum magnum, a large camp or stronghold, and the coat of arms answers with a battlemented castle on green ground. At the top of the village, ringed by the old via Rocca, lie the remains of the Monferrato marquesses' castle, raised perhaps where a Lombard one stood and almost entirely rebuilt in the late eighteenth century; it is now a private house.
Above the roofs stands the parish church of Sant'Eusebio: Crescentino Caselli rebuilt it between 1885 and 1890, keeping the facade of the earlier church. Its columned drum, the balustrade statues and the lantern rise beside the bell tower and its clock.
