Patron saint festival
Feast of Saint Dionysius
📅 Every year, on 9 October
On 9 October Montafia celebrates its patron Saint Dionysius; the municipal territory also preserves the Fonte Sulfurea di Montafia-Bagnasco, a sulphur spring.
The arms of Montafia, in the province of Asti, are not a municipal invention: the comune took over the blazon of the Montafia family, which shares the village's name, and kept a plain red cloth for its gonfalon. What the place guards most carefully is its tree-lined avenue, recognised by the Piedmont Region as of notable public interest.
The parish church of Santi Martino e Dionigi has a yellow plastered front, divided by pilasters with Corinthian capitals and closed by a pediment, with a round oculus at the centre and an inscription running above the door. The bell tower stands alongside, in bare brick, ending in a dark spire.
