Patron saint festival In 91 days
Feast of Saint Hilary of Poitiers
📅 Every year, on 13 January
On 13 January Cassinasco celebrates its patron Saint Hilary of Poitiers; the town hosts the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces and of the Alpini.
Only the tower of the medieval castle is still standing: the rest went in the sack and fire of 1615, the work of Savoy troops in the war over the succession of Monferrato. The council put that tower on its coat of arms: the one thing left from those years.
It stands above a stone retaining wall holding back the edge of the hill: square, roofless, its courses of pale stone cut halfway up by a band of red brick, beam holes still open in the masonry. The village also has the sanctuary of Nostra Signora delle Grazie e degli Alpini, of the early twentieth century.
