Patron saint festival In 284 days
Feast of Saint Christopher
📅 Every year, on 25 July
On 25 July Mango, a municipality of 1,334 inhabitants in the province of Cuneo, celebrates its patron Saint Christopher (San Cristoforo).
Mango is thought to have existed in Roman times as Mangiana Colonia, a name recorded in Trajan's alimentary table: a military post supplying food to veteran troops, and it seems the discharged soldiers founded the colony here. A salt road later passed through.
The village grew out of the ruin of three castles, Frave, Vene and Vaglio, razed by the men of Asti after the year one thousand; the coat of arms recalls them with three towers on three hills, and sets the letters of the name on silver. Below Frave, which old papers call Fravega, Fabreis or Fabricas, ran the Magistra Langarum, the road from Alba to the coast.
