Festa Patronale Madonna della Cintura
The patron saint festival of Corsico, between faith, procession and tradition
About Festa Madonna della Cintura
The patron saint of Corsico
The Madonna della Cintura is the patron saint of Corsico, a town in the Metropolitan City of Milan overlooking the Naviglio Grande canal. Devotion to the Madonna della Cintura, linked to the Augustinian tradition, has ancient roots in the Corsico community, and her festival represents the highest point of the city's religious calendar.
When it is celebrated
The feast day traditionally falls on the Monday following the second Sunday of September, with celebrations concentrated in the days around that date, generally in the first half of the month. The celebrations are organised by the Comunità Pastorale Cenacolo delle Genti, which brings together the parishes of Corsico.
The procession and celebrations
The heart of the festival is the procession with the statue of the Madonna, which winds through the streets of the centre, accompanied by the faithful, confraternities, and the town's musical band. Around the liturgical moments—solemn masses and vespers—a programme of meetings, prayer times, and community initiatives involving local parishes and associations unfolds.
Between faith and city festival
In Corsico, the patron saint festival often intertwines with the Festa di Corsico, the big September city event featuring concerts, shows, sports, and food. Thus, the devotional aspect of the Madonna della Cintura and the popular dimension of the city festival coexist on the same days, giving Corsico an intense September, capable of uniting religious tradition and community identity.
