Appointment in via Berchet, Wednesday 1 May, from 11am
Legnano – Wednesday 1st May, on the occasion of “Open Manors”, the Nobile Contrada San Magno returns with the traditional one “May 1st barbecue”. Lighted grills, music all day long and lots of fun are the fundamental elements to start the most beautiful month of the year in the best way in the red-white-red Contrada. But not only! La Nobile, from 11 am, will keep the doors of her house in Via Berchet 8 open, to share with the City the heritage well guarded within the walls of the manor.
A day within everyone’s reach, adults and, this year especially, children. In fact, the initiatives for the “Open Manors” day are aimed at children. Throughout the day the Manor will be animated by guided tours that will illustrate the display of clothes of the little paraders. Archers, banners, pages and handmaids are the roles assigned to the young Contrada people who take part in the historic parade on the last Sunday of May.
At 12:00 they will be the winners of the first edition of the “Barbara Costa Award” awarded, in honor of the non-regent Castellana. More than 500 students from the Don Milani, De Amicis and Monti Roveda schools enjoyed drawing a crown, the symbol of chatelaines. The “jury”, made up of Barbara’s family and the regents, then selected two drawings for each category of students. Up for grabs is an invitation for 3 people to the Christmas Eve Dinner which will be held on Saturday 25 May, to bring children and their families closer to the Nobile Contrada San Magno and the Palio di Legnano.
At 12.30 pm, the winner of the “Palio drawings” prize will be announced. Viola Barletta from the 5th A class of De Amicis schools, a project conceived by the Collegio dei Capitani e delle Contrade. The fifth and sixth grade students of the Legnano schools were involved in depicting the Palio di Legnano and specifically their Contrada through drawings. Among all the documents presented, one was chosen to be reproduced on the car that the districts will have in use in the month of May.
