La Domenica Bestiale — Cascina Cuccagna

A Monthly Community Ritual

La Domenica Bestiale is the recurring event that Cascina Cuccagna (via Cuccagna 2/4, Calvairate-Romana district, Municipality 4, City of Milan, Lombardy) dedicates to proximity sociality and culture. Every second weekend of the month - Saturday or Sunday - the 18th-century farmhouse transforms into a large festive space, defined by the organizers as "a ritual community embrace".

Shows, Workshops, and Conviviality

The program is extensive and varied: live music, theatre and artistic performances, creative workshops for children and adults (gardening, cooking, crafts, recycling), talks with guests, games in the courtyard and nature activities, second-hand and charity markets, cinema. An unmissable moment is the Tavolata Bestiale, the shared convivial meal that brings participants together around food, the heart of the event's community dimension.

The Farmhouse That Builds a City

Organized by the Associazione Consorzio Cantiere Cuccagna, La Domenica Bestiale embodies the farmhouse's vocation as a cultural and social hub for the neighborhood. It is an occasion for meeting, socializing, and active participation, free and open to all, which renews the bond between Cuccagna and the inhabitants of Porta Romana and Municipality 4 of Milan each month, with the patronage of the Municipality itself.
