Patron saint festival In 305 days
Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
📅 Every year, on 15 August
On 15 August Robella, a municipality of 504 inhabitants in the province of Asti, celebrates the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
The name Robella is said to come from Latin robur, the sessile oak, and the tree ended up on the arms: an uprooted oak with two golden acorns and crossed branches, grapes on one side, two ears of wheat on the other, with a crowned eagle on the black chief. Woodland, vineyard and field share the same shield.
The parish church of San Giacomo Apostolo is fourteenth-century in origin; its plastered front, closed by a pediment, leans on a bell tower of bare brick. The much-altered medieval castle became a manor house, and at Cortiglione, which has its own parish church of Sant'Eusebio, people call themselves cortiglionesi rather than robellesi.
