None Turin: History, Churches and Routes

None Turin brings together several distinct themes for a stay: a castle with a changing historical role, churches with their own connections, the Santuario di San Ponzio and a permanent walking route. There are also local events, such as the celebration on June 2 and the Fiera di San Martino in November. Depending on whether you are interested in architectural history, local traditions or time outdoors, different priorities can shape your travel plans.

Castle and Churches: Different Historical Connections

The castle in None was built in 1815 in connection with Count Adami Bergolo. The building, which still stands today, is known as Castello Quaranta; the name comes from the Quaranta family, who later became its owners. Another historical milestone is 1818: at that time, the castle served as the headquarters of the Carabinieri, then known as the “Brigata dei reali carabinieri a cavallo.” The castle’s construction, its later name and its use as the Carabinieri headquarters belong to different moments in its history.

The parish church is dedicated to Saints Gervasius and Protasius. The Piossasco family had two chapels with associated burial places in the church. The Church of San Rocco offers a different historical and local connection: it is in the town center, opposite Piazza Cavour, and its foundation dates to 1522. Together, the churches reveal different aspects of the town’s history—from the dedication and family chapels to the founding date of San Rocco.

The Santuario di San Ponzio and Its Tradition

The Santuario di San Ponzio stands in the territory of None, beyond the Torrente Chisola, and is visible along State Road 23. Its exact origins are unknown; in Casalis’s account, its foundation is attributed to the 14th century. An unanswered question about its origins thus sits alongside a historical attribution, without establishing a definite foundation date.

A celebration is held at the sanctuary on June 2, with a Mass, lunch and rural games. The date connects the site with a local tradition and can give you a specific reason to plan your trip around that day. The Mass, communal lunch and games are distinct parts of the celebration, making it a focus in its own right alongside the sanctuary’s history.

A Permanent Route Through the Countryside

For walks and exercise, None has a permanent route with a clearly described course. It starts at the Palazzetto dello Sport on Via Faunasco, passes through the rural areas of the Riserva di None to Cascina Ollera, and returns to the starting point. The route therefore begins and ends in the same place, with Cascina Ollera marking the turning point of the described course.

The route is already used for walks and daily exercise. For your plans, you can consider it a separate part of your trip alongside the historic sites: here, the focus is on the rural course and everyday use. The walking loop thus complements the cultural themes with an opportunity to spend time outdoors.

Fiera di San Martino and Carnival

The Fiera di San Martino in None takes place every year on the second Tuesday in November. If you would like to plan your trip around the event, check the calendar for the specific date.

The Carnevale degli Strambicoli was held in February 2026 in Vinovo, Volvera, None and Airasca. During the edition in None, allegorical floats made from reused materials passed through streets and squares. Unlike the annual fair, which is dated to a specific day in November, this edition of the carnival is placed in February 2026.
