Saint Genesius the Martyr and Saint Anne, patrons of the land of Monte Soglio
📅 Every year, on the last Sunday of July
Corio celebrates the martyr Saint Genesius and Saint Anne on the last Sunday of July.
At Corio the surnames come in pairs: Ruo Roch, Rubat Borel, Baima Beuc, Corgiat Mecio, Brach Papa, and dozens more. The second part usually names the hamlet the family came from — the Rubat of ca' 'd Borel, those of ca' d'Ors — and there were even triple ones, very rare, like Ruo Redda Lossat.
For some eighty years, across the land of Corio and neighbouring Balangero, an asbestos quarry was worked: it was reckoned the largest open-cast one in Europe. The main monument of the town is the church of San Genesio, with Santa Croce beside it, which stood there before.
