Patron saint festival In 239 days
Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua
📅 Every year, on 13 June
On 13 June Isola Sant'Antonio, a municipality of 734 inhabitants in the province of Alessandria, celebrates its patron Saint Anthony of Padua.
Isola Sant'Antonio lies on the right bank of the Po, on the flood plain of Tanaro and Scrivia: marsh and islets cut by channels, and the name comes from that landscape and a chapel to the saint. With Molino dei Torti it is Piedmont's lowest municipality, and inside its land sits San Pio, which belongs to Pieve del Cairo: a piece of Lombardy within Piedmont.
In 1545 the Isimbardi marquises settled farmers here to work the rich soil. It belonged to the Lomellina: in 1800 Napoleon moved it to Alluvioni Cambiò, then the king of Sardinia made it a commune and sent it back. Piedmont kept it only from 1878.
