Patron saint festival In 327 days
Feast of the Nativity of Mary
📅 Every year, on 8 September
On 8 September Frinco, a municipality of 731 inhabitants in the province of Asti, celebrates the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Frinco stands on the hills of the Astesana, near the Versa stream. The first documents naming it date from 1177. From the mid-thirteenth century it belonged to the Pelletta, bankers of Asti, who passed it to another Asti banking family, the Turco: for close to a century Frinco was a matter for financiers rather than men at arms. In 1438 it was declared an imperial fief.
The castle, medieval in origin, is a block of brick with a cylindrical tower at one corner and shutters at the windows; a long low outbuilding stands beside it, and the meadow in front shows the walls to their full height.
