Discover San Maurizio Canavese: Culture, Music and Surroundings

San Maurizio Canavese combines regular events with cultural sites and destinations in the surrounding area. The town may be of interest to you if you would like to bring together culture, music and regional landscapes in an individually planned trip to Italy. Rather than focusing on just one occasion, you can shape your stay around different highlights: an event during the year, the Chiesa di San Maurizio, or places in the immediate and wider surroundings.

The Chiesa di San Maurizio

The Chiesa di San Maurizio contains 24 scenes from the life of Christ, painted by Bartolomeo and Sebastiano Serra in 1495. The number of scenes and the clearly defined subject matter give the visit a specific art-historical and religious-historical context. Guided visits are scheduled for Saturdays. If you plan this visit, Saturday is the designated day of the week; the church visit can therefore be considered a separate element of your trip.

Events Throughout the Year

The event dates also provide clear planning anchors. The Fiera Agricoltura, Artigianato e… dintorni takes place every third Sunday in October in San Maurizio Canavese.

The Festival Invaghite Note takes place from May to September as a series of sacred music concerts in the Chiesa Vecchia del Cimitero. This period provides a seasonal framework for travellers who would like to combine their stay with sacred music.

The Festa di Malanghero takes place on the first Sunday in September.

Palaces, Castle, Garden and Park

The surrounding area offers several specific sites of architectural interest. The D'Oria Palace is located near San Maurizio Canavese. The Villa Remmert palace is also located nearby. Both palaces broaden the cultural perspective beyond the Chiesa di San Maurizio.

The Valli di Lanzo palace is located in the area around San Maurizio Canavese. The Castello della Mandria is also located in the surrounding area. In addition, the Giardini Via Ciriè garden and Cascina Vittoria park are located in the area around San Maurizio Canavese. When planning your trip, you can therefore consider palaces, a castle, a garden and a park alongside the church and events.

Landscape in the Wider Regional Area

The Goja Del Pis waterfall and Monte Musinè mountain are located in the wider regional area around San Maurizio Canavese. Both landscape features give your trip to Italy a regional perspective and may appeal to you if, in addition to culture and events, you would also like to include nature.
