Patron saint festival In 314 days
Feast of San Secondo
📅 Every year, on 26 August
On 26 August Vallo Torinese, a municipality of 785 inhabitants in the province of Turin, celebrates its patron San Secondo.
Vallo lies in the Ceronda valley and takes in the valley of the Rio Tronta, which flows into the Ceronda. Towards Varisella is the hamlet of Gaiera; lower down, towards Fiano, the one called Spagna. The village history is tied to the Visconti di Baratonia, who took their name from the settlement of Baratonia, now in the comune of Varisella.
In 1927 Vallo ceased to be a comune: it was absorbed into Fiano, as Varisella was, and waited until 1954 for its autonomy. To the north-west the boundary follows the watershed between the Ceronda and the Stura di Lanzo, between Monte Druina and Monte Corno.
