The reopening of the Palazzo Visconti courtyard amidst ideas, music, and participation
In Saronno, in the province of Varese, Palazzo Visconti is one of those places that hold the city's memory. After years of closure, its courtyard is finally reopening to the public, and it does so with a celebration designed to involve the community: Affamati d'Idee? Tutti a Tavola!. A title that is already a program, as it combines the pleasure of being together with the desire to imagine the future.
The heart of the day is the participatory meal, a metaphor for a community coming together and dialoguing. Alongside, an urban mapping workshop invites citizens to talk about and rethink their city, in a collective exercise of imagination and participation. It's an original way to reopen a public space, putting people and their ideas at the center.
The celebration continues with an aperitif accompanied by a DJ set and culminates in a live concert, to close the day in a spirit of music and conviviality. Access to the courtyard, from via Giuditta Pasta and Piazza Indipendenza, is free, in an evening that blends culture, social life, and fun.
Promoted by the Municipality of Saronno, Affamati d'Idee? is much more than a simple inauguration: it is a sign of a city rediscovering its spaces and returning them to the community. For those who live in or visit Saronno, it's an opportunity to discover a historic place brought back to life, in the heart of the Altomilanese region.
The inaugural edition of Affamati d'Idee? Tutti a Tavola! takes place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 4:30 PM to 11:00 PM, marking the first public reopening of the Palazzo Visconti courtyard in Saronno after years of closure.
The program includes the participatory meal, the urban mapping workshop (6:00 PM), the aperitif with DJ set (7:30 PM), and the live concert by Fe-Lab (9:00 PM). Admission is free, with access from via Giuditta Pasta and Piazza Indipendenza.
