Patron saint festival In 190 days
Saint George, patron of the land of the Castello Cagnis
📅 Every year, on 23 April
Lessolo celebrates Saint George on 23 April, in the church dedicated to him.
Lessolo climbs the right bank of the Dora Baltea where the valley opens out, inside the morainic amphitheatre of Ivrea, and first appears in a document of 1044. From 1159 there is record of a "Community of the men of Lessolo" holding common property — land, the oven, the press — and electing its consuls every year in the assembly of household heads, which met in the square before the chapel of San Rocco.
Fifteenth-century statutes set down how it worked and its pacts with the nobles. On Lessolo's land the mine named after Brosso, the village above, was worked until 1964.
