Patron saint festival Tomorrow
Feast of San Felice
📅 Every year, on the third Sunday of October
On the third Sunday of October Colleretto Giacosa, a municipality of 603 inhabitants in the province of Turin, celebrates its patron San Felice.
Until 1953 the village was called Colleretto Parella; the new name honours Giuseppe Giacosa, the playwright and librettist born here. Earlier, in 1929, a royal decree had wiped the comune out, merging it with Loranzè, Parella, Quagliuzzo and Strambinello into a single one called Pedanea; in 1947 the five got their autonomy back.
The church of the Finding of the Holy Cross has a yellow and white front with pilasters and a frescoed roundel over the door; beside it stands a brick bell tower with paired windows and a clock, set on the bare rock, and two white pillars mark the way in.
