The Magi’s Parade in Milan
Author: SerenaOn the 6th of January
This is one of the most loved Milanese habit that unifies history and tradition involving all the population.
This parade usually starts at 11:30 in the morning from Duomo Square towards the Sant’Eustorgio Basilica. The typical Bersaglieri’s band called “Fanfara” announces the start of this traditional parade made up by many participants dressed with historical costumes: at the beginning of this pageant there are the Magi (an old man, a young man and a black man) on horseback followed by a big group of dames, knights, shepherds and common people who accompany The Three Kings.
