Patron saint festival In 98 days
Feast of Saint Vincent of Saragossa
📅 Every year, on 22 January
On 22 January Mongardino celebrates its patron Saint Vincent of Saragossa, to whom a church in the town is dedicated.
Mongardino is all hills, and its scattered hamlets keep to the ridge tops: slopes planted mostly with vines, a few hazel groves, patches of replanted woodland. Its story follows that of the county of Asti: in 1387 the lordship went as Valentina Visconti's personal dowry to her husband Louis of Orléans, and a long tug-of-war between the French and the Visconti began.
On the Colle Sant'Antonio, in 1739, the Sacro Monte was built, a small church with eighteen Stations of the Cross; the sanctuary in the Madonna hamlet dates from 1706. From there the village shows itself along the crest, with the brick parish church of Saints Vincent and John the Baptist.
