Patron saint festival In 242 days
Feast of Saint Bernard of Menthon
📅 Every year, on 15 June
On 15 June Lamporo, a municipality of 546 inhabitants in the province of Vercelli, celebrates its patron Saint Bernard of Menthon.
Lamporo lies on the plain between Crescentino and Livorno Ferraris, shaped by water: two long rows of houses line the banks of the Lamporo, a canal that feeds the Marcova and through it the Sesia. The village takes its name from an old stream, the Ampurius, which in Roman times ran towards the Sesia, a name perhaps from the Celtic root ambe-, river.
Where the road crosses the canal, piazza Monateri holds the parish church of San Bernardo di Mentone: the parish dates from the sixteenth century, the church is baroque, with a painting attributed to Moncalvo or his school. Some 500 metres west, the Madonna di Loreto chapel straddles the canal.
