Patron saint festival In 282 days
Feast of Saint James
📅 Every year, on 25 July
On 25 July Monterosso Grana, a municipality of 536 inhabitants in the province of Cuneo, celebrates its patron Saint James (San Giacomo).
Monterosso Grana lies halfway up the Valle Grana, in the province of Cuneo. In Occitan the village is Bourgat, its people the bourgatei; in Piedmontese, Montross. Up to 900 metres the slope is chestnut wood, above it pasture, and the milk becomes Castelmagno cheese.
The arms are almost a photograph of the place: on blue, a mountain topped by castle ruins, on green ground, crossed by a wavy band. That castle, of 1286, slid away, and a stump of its tower stands on the crag; near the bridge Federico Saluzzo built another, later the house of a cadet branch of the family. A fragment of a Roman inscription is walled into the courtyard.
