Patron saint festival In 303 days
Feast of Santa Maria Assunta
📅 Every year, on 15 August
On 15 August Grana, a municipality of 622 inhabitants in the province of Asti, celebrates its patroness Santa Maria Assunta (Assumption of Mary).
The name of Grana probably comes from the stream of the same name. In 1589 the duke of Mantua and Montferrat created the marquisate of Grana here, a fief carved out within Montferrat; the village was called simply Grana until 2023, when it added Monferrato to its name.
The village sits on a single hill. At the top the church spreads out, its bell tower carrying two round clock faces side by side, and a little further off a dome and a slimmer bell tower rise; from there the houses run down the slope in rows of tiled roofs, to the meadows and farms below.
