Patron saint festival In 40 days
Feast of Saint Catherine
📅 Every year, on 25 November
On 25 November Nibbiola celebrates its patron Saint Catherine, to whom the town's church is dedicated.
Nibbiola first appears in a charter from the archive of Novara cathedral, dated March 902. The village sits on a fluvioglacial terrace some ten metres above the plain, and on the Montarsello estate amphorae, coins, cups and glass balsamaria have come to light, the remains of a small Roman necropolis.
The castle is recorded in a parchment of 1198, when the consuls ran the village. It is built of bare brick, with two corner towers and a third guarding the entrance, and it keeps one of the few drawbridges still in working order; of the moat only traces survive at the foot of the facade. On the slopes the vine has given way to rice.
