Saint Anthony Abbot Festival

The 2025 Saint Anthony Abbot Festival in Villar Focchiardo took place on Sunday, January 19. It was led by young Priori Matteo Bisaschi and Luca Donalisio, with Godfather Luciano Giovale and Godmother Carla Re. The morning began with a gathering and a festive toast, followed by the Mass officiated by Father Soavina and the blessing of animals and agricultural machinery on the church square. A colorful tractor parade then made its way through the village streets. The event continued at the Multi-purpose Center with an aperitif and the Saint Anthony Abbot Lunch featuring typical Piedmontese dishes, while the afternoon was enlivened by popular songs from the "Giuvu d' na volta".
