Patron saint festival In 311 days
Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, patron of the land of the Church of San Dalmazio
📅 Every year, on 24 August
Portacomaro celebrates Saint Bartholomew the Apostle on 24 August, in the church dedicated to him.
The village belongs to the Astesana, the historic country of Asti, and its name is traced to the powerful Roman patrician family Comaria; tradition instead derives it from the main gate of the old ricetto, the Curtis Cumaria — the gate shown on the town's arms.
In the village stand the old ricetto and its tower, the parish church of San Bartolomeo Apostolo, the confraternity church of the Annunziata and the small Romanesque church of San Pietro.
