Saint Germanus, patron of the land of the Chapel of the Madonna d'Oropa
📅 Every year, on 31 July
Tollegno celebrates Saint Germanus on 31 July, in the church dedicated to him.
The old parish church is called Curavecchia: it is Romanesque, its bell tower is eleventh-century, and today it is a national monument owned by a Biella research centre. Its place as parish church was taken in 1799 by San Germano d'Auxerre, which had begun as a confraternity church.
Between 1920 and 1925 a workers' village was built beside the spinning mill. The comune is small for a particular reason too: unlike the other towns of the Biella country, it has no mountain hamlets in the pastures of the upper valley.
