Patron saint festival In 282 days
Feast of Saint James
📅 Every year, on 25 July
On 25 July Caravino, a municipality of 995 inhabitants in the province of Turin, celebrates its patron Saint James (San Giacomo).
The name Caravino may come from cavrinum, goatish, for the flocks these hills once carried; two other origins have been proposed. The place appears in the eleventh century as a fief of the Masino-Valperga counts, and in the summer of 1397 the Valperga could no longer hold back Facino Cane, who sacked the place.
In 1929 Caravino vanished from the map: it merged with its upper hamlet, Masino, and with Cossano Canavese into one comune called Masino. The divorce came in 1949, and Masino has been a hamlet of Caravino ever since. The village lies below the castle and long shared its fortunes.
