Edition 2025 — Sant'Ambrogio

In 2025, Milan also celebrated its patron saint, Saint Ambrose, on December 7th, with a solemn mass in the basilica, the premiere at Teatro alla Scala inaugurating the opera season, the awarding of the Ambrogini d'Oro, and the Oh Bej! Oh Bej! fair around Sforza Castle.

The 2025 edition of the Festa di Sant'Ambrogio confirmed the rich blend of celebrations that characterizes Milan's December 7th: the religious dimension of the mass in the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, the cultural aspect of the premiere at Teatro alla Scala, and the civic element of the Ambrogini d'Oro awards.

As every year, the lighting of the Christmas tree in Piazza Duomo and the Oh Bej! Oh Bej! fair at Sforza Castle opened the city's Christmas atmosphere, on a deeply symbolic day for Milanese citizens.
