Patron saint festival In 286 days
Feast of Saint Martha
📅 Every year, on 29 July
On 29 July Varisella, a municipality of 830 inhabitants in the metropolitan city of Turin, celebrates its patroness Saint Martha (santa Marta).
Varisella lies in the Val Ceronda, above the Ceronda stream. The village's history belongs to the Visconti di Baratonia, who took their name from a settlement further down the valley, now a hamlet. Their castle is a ruin; at Baratonia the church of San Grato sets a pale rendered front against a flank left bare, with the bell tower rising past the roof.
In 1927 Varisella lost its standing as a comune and became a hamlet of Fiano; it was made independent again in 1954. On the ridge towards the Givoletto basin, Monte Lera holds the strict nature reserve of the Madonna della Neve.
