About Santi Cornelio e Cipriano
The patrons of Cerro Maggiore
The Festival of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian is the patronal festival of Cerro Maggiore, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Alto Milanese area. It is celebrated on September 16th, the day the liturgical calendar commemorates the two saints, and is dedicated to the patron saints of the town's parish church of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, on Via Vittorio Emanuele II.
A community festival
The religious celebrations in the parish church are the heart of the festival, around which the civil and community events that involve the town develop. The patronal festival is an event rooted in the identity of Cerro Maggiore, which has over fifteen thousand inhabitants.
Cornelius and Cyprian
Pope Cornelius and Saint Cyprian of Carthage, commemorated together on September 16th, are among the oldest figures in the Christian martyrology. Their selection as patrons links Cerro Maggiore to a long-standing tradition of devotion. For those familiar with the Alto Milanese region, the patronal festival is an opportunity to rediscover the village dimension of Cerro Maggiore.
