Patron saint festival In 282 days
Feast of Saint James
📅 Every year, on 25 July
On 25 July Soriso, a municipality of 781 inhabitants in the province of Novara, celebrates its patron Saint James (San Giacomo).
Soriso is a comune in the province of Novara; in Piedmontese it is called Soris. Above the roofs stands the church of San Giacomo, set on a rise held up by a wall of rough stone, and from a distance it is the bell tower you pick out, not the façade.
The tower is bare stone, with a belfry and a clock face, ending in an octagonal lantern under a pale dome. A portico of round arches on stone columns runs along the flank of the church, and painted panels still show under the arcade. Beside it a low building with a tiled roof all but disappears under ivy.
