Fraternity March
The non-competitive solidarity walk between Ospiate and Villa Arconati
About Fraternity March
A march for peace
The Fraternity March is a non-competitive walk that takes place every spring in Bollate, in the Metropolitan City of Milan, with the motto "walking for peace". Now in its 46th edition, it starts from the Ospiate oratory and winds along the territory and paths that border the historic Villa Arconati, on a route suitable for everyone.
Solidarity at the center
This is not a race, but a collective moment of community: the march has a clear charitable purpose and the proceeds are used to support humanitarian causes. The 2026 edition in particular contributes to the reception of displaced people from Syria. It is an opportunity, as the organizers write, "to rediscover the value of being together and of solidarity".
Walk and nature
The route, at a free pace, crosses green areas and valuable environments in the Bollate territory, offering participants a morning in the open air between nature and socialising. The start is from the Ospiate oratory, with return to the same point.
Fraternity March — edition 2026
The 46th Fraternity March takes place on Sunday, April 19, 2026, starting at 9:15 AM from the Ospiate oratory (via Fornace Mariani 14, Bollate) and returning to the same point around noon.
The non-competitive walk, at a free pace, crosses the territory of Bollate and the surroundings of Villa Arconati. The proceeds from the march contribute to supporting the reception of displaced people from Syria, confirming the solidarity-driven nature of the initiative.
