About Welcome Spring

Benvenuta Primavera is the cultural event that celebrates the arrival of the beautiful season in Municipality 5 of Milan, between Gratosoglio and Conca Fallata. Organized by ARCI Centro Culturale Conca Fallata together with about thirty local associations, it is a virtuous example of active citizenship and collective work. Concerts, poetry readings, photographic exhibitions, guided tours of historic farmhouses, and shared outdoor lunches make up a program that intertwines culture, environment, and community. The theme of the 2026 edition is "Nature and Art": an invitation to rediscover the beauty of the territory through creativity and respect for the environment.

A spring festival made by the neighborhood

Benvenuta Primavera is a cultural event that takes place in Municipality 5 of the City of Milan, in Lombardy, in the area between Gratosoglio and Conca Fallata. It is organized by ARCI Centro Culturale Conca Fallata with the collaboration of about thirty local and territorial associations, in a concrete example of active citizenship built on months of voluntary and shared work.

The 2026 theme: Nature and Art

The 2026 edition, the twelfth, revolves around the theme "Nature and Art": an invitation to rediscover the beauty of the territory through creativity and respect for the environment. A common thread that links the different souls of the event.

A program on three tracks

The activities are divided into three main areas:

  • Culture and in-depth study: thematic meetings, poetry readings, concerts, and photographic exhibitions
  • Rediscovery of the territory: guided tours and experiential walks to historic farmhouses, symbols of the link between the city and agricultural tradition
  • Conviviality: shared outdoor lunches and snacks

Farmhouses as the heart of the festival

The main venues are the Cascine Chiesa Rossa complex and Spazio Barrili. In this corner of Milan, where the city meets the Parco Agricolo Sud, the farmhouses tell a rural identity that the event helps to keep alive, returning it to the community.
