Patron saint festival In 298 days
Saint Lawrence, patron of the land of the La Mandria Natural Park
📅 Every year, on 10 August
La Cassa celebrates Saint Lawrence on 10 August, in the church dedicated to him.
La Cassa is one of the few Piedmontese place names never italianised: in Piedmontese it means ‘the hunt’, the land having once been a hunting reserve. The arms confirm it: a silver hunting horn beside a castle and a mitre. Locals are jokingly called ij Cassarin, the hunters, or Giordanin, because Giordanino was once a very common surname here.
The village grew out of the borgata dei Giordanino; one early nucleus, la Fila, goes back to the sixteenth century and keeps the village oven. The parish church is San Lorenzo Martire. The land climbs to Monte Bernard, above a thousand metres, and below the houses the Ceronda forms a wetland.
