Patron saint festival In 256 days
Feast of Sant'Antonio di Padova
📅 Every year, at the end of June
At the end of June San Damiano Macra, a municipality of 439 inhabitants in the province of Cuneo, celebrates its patron Sant'Antonio di Padova.
San Damiano Macra lies in the lower Val Maira and gathers three former comuni: Pagliero, Lottulo and Paglieres. The village first appears in the founding deed of the abbey of Caramagna Piemonte, of 1028. After the plague of 1716 the decimated people of San Damiano and Pagliero merged into one comune.
Little of the artistic past survives, after a German reprisal fire and recent building: a few mullioned windows on old houses, and the Berardi arms, of 1507, on an octagonal slab of a stone fountain. The parish church of Santi Cosma e Damiano, much remodelled, keeps the doorway carved by the Zabreri brothers, from the original fifteenth-century building.
