Patron saint festival
Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
📅 Every year, on 7 October
On 7 October Lusigliè celebrates its patron Our Lady of the Rosary; with just over 500 residents it is one of the smallest municipalities in the Canavese area.
Lusigliè lies wholly in the alluvial plain of the Orco, whose water feeds its irrigation channels. Several ideas circulate about the name: the old forms Lusiniacum and Lusignacum, with the Celtic suffix -acum, would point to a very old settlement. The name first appears in a document of 1019.
At the end of the fourteenth century the village gave itself its own statutes. Nothing is left of the Biandrate castle: wrecked by the French marching on Turin, it was sold to a local master mason, who took it apart for building material. And from 1927 until after the war Lusigliè was not Turinese but Aostan.
