Patron saint festival In 312 days
Feast of San Bartolomeo
📅 Every year, on 24 August
On 24 August Vische, a municipality of 1,314 inhabitants in the metropolitan city of Turin, celebrates its patron San Bartolomeo.
Between 1765 and 1768 porcelain was made at Vische. The company was set up on Count Ludovico Birago's estate; he put in the premises and the secret glaze formula, and Carlo Emanuele III granted it the porcelain monopoly in the Kingdom of Sardinia for twenty years. The staff: a director, a painter, two modellers, two turners, twelve workmen. It closed in debt.
Out came undecorated figurines, among them a series of children at their trades designed by Étienne Maurice Falconet; the manufactory's mark was a W under a trefoil. The village's parish church of San Bartolomeo, medieval and reworked in the sixteenth century, is reached by a stair, with a columned peristyle before the door.
