The Christmas charity market at the Auditorium Disarò in Cesano Maderno
In the municipality of Cesano Maderno (Province of Monza and Brianza, Lombardy), the Mercatino delle Meraviglie is a traditional event of the Christmas season. Set up at the Auditorium Disarò and organised by the Cooperativa Sociale Il Seme, the market has been one of the most beloved initiatives of the city's Advent for over thirty years.
The heart of the market is its charitable mission: among the stalls, you'll find artisanal objects, gift ideas, and products made by the cooperative, in a festive atmosphere filled with warmth and meaning. Shopping here is not just about finding an original gift, but about making a generous gesture: the proceeds support the social activities of Cooperativa Il Seme, which works in the community to help vulnerable people.
For decades, the Mercatino delle Meraviglie has marked the approach of Christmas in Cesano Maderno, forming part of the city's wider Christmas initiatives. For many families, it's a must-visit, a moment where the spirit of giving meets social commitment, and where the community comes together around the values of solidarity and sharing.
What makes this market special is the meaning behind each purchase. The items on display—handmade crafts, decorations, gift ideas—are often the result of the work of people supported by Cooperativa Il Seme, an organisation committed to inclusion and support for those facing difficulties in the community. Buying a gift here means contributing concretely to social projects, transforming a Christmas gesture into an act of generosity. It is this dimension, combined with the warm and festive atmosphere of the Auditorium Disarò decorated for the holidays, that makes the Mercatino delle Meraviglie an event that the people of Cesano eagerly await each year with affection.
The 2026 edition of the Mercatino delle Meraviglie is scheduled for December at the Auditorium Disarò in Cesano Maderno, as part of the city's Christmas program. Following the 34th edition in 2025 (held from December 6th to 8th), the charity market renews its appointment with artisanal objects, gift ideas, and products made by Cooperativa Sociale Il Seme, with proceeds supporting the cooperative's social activities. The exact date for the 2026 edition, traditionally the first weekend of December, will be announced in the weeks leading up to it.
The Mercatino delle Meraviglie is a charity market held at the Auditorium Disarò, featuring the exhibition and sale of artisanal objects, gift ideas, and products made by Cooperativa Sociale Il Seme.

The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published on the municipality's and the cooperative's channels in the weeks prior.
