Discover Busano: Ricetto, Churches and Local Festivals

Busano between Market and Churches

The weekly market in Busano takes place on Mondays from 08:00 to 13:00 in Piazza San Tommaso and Via Igonetti. This clearly defines both the day of the week and the time window for planning your day. Anyone visiting Busano on a Monday can include a visit to the market as a separate item on their itinerary.

Torre del Ricetto

The entrance tower of the Ricetto, the Torre del Ricetto, was built from rubble stone with relatively carefully worked cornerstones. The former passageway through the Torre del Ricetto was equipped with a drawbridge. A drawbridge is a bridge that could be raised.

Romanesque Parish Church of Busano

The Romanesque section of the parish church of Busano was built between 1035 and 1040. The Romanesque apses of the parish church of Busano are located at the rear of the church. The main apse of the parish church of Busano is crowned by six blind arcades. An apse is the usually rounded end of a church interior. Blind arcades are arcades placed on a wall as a design element that do not form an open passageway.

Chiesa della SS. Trinità

The furnishings of the Chiesa della SS. Trinità repeatedly refer to the symbolism of the Trinity. The Bovari banner in the Chiesa della SS. Trinità depicts the town's patron Madonna, Saint Isidore and Saint Thomas. In Christianity, the Trinity refers to the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

A Monastery Dating from 1019

A significant Benedictine nuns' monastery was founded in Busano in 1019. The date belongs to the early 11th century. A Benedictine nuns' monastery is a monastery whose spiritual community lives according to the Rule of Saint Benedict.

Cycling Route through the Alto Canavese

The “CORIO Anello Alto Canavese Morena Ovest” cycling route passes through Busano and explores the foothills of the Alto Canavese, the plain and the western beginning of the moraine of the Ivrea Moraine Amphitheatre. Foothills are transitional areas at the foot of mountains. A plain is a largely flat landscape. The cycling route therefore explores different landforms between the Alto Canavese and the western beginning of the moraine of the Ivrea Moraine Amphitheatre.

Culinary Event and Patron Saint's Festival

“Marciar e Mengiàr” was held for the eighth time on 28 June 2025 as a nighttime culinary walk through Busano's historic courtyards. During this walk, traditional Canavese dishes were sampled. The Festa Patronale Natività Maria S.S. is associated with the second weekend of September. This provides the local calendar with a culinary event held in June 2025 and a festival date associated with September for itinerary planning.
