.:. festivals  / democrats are back 
August 25 through September 6, 2015
whole day; events from 6pm

For the Milanese left, the good ol' Festa dell'Unità of September was the first social gathering after the summer (congregate, come across friends, tell about past holidays...) Those days have long gone but might be coming back, as the Democratic Party's festival has been entitled again to the Communist daily newspaper which was originally established by Antonio Gramsci in 1924.
.:. For those who still believe in a center-left party in Italy, the Festa is an opportunity to prove that they are alive and kickin' in Milan. (By the way, they are currently ruling both the city and the national government.) For the general public, anyway, the Festa is simply a long series of concerts, debates, book presentations, opportunities to dine out and shop.
.:. The whole program (in Italian only) can be found at the l'Unità website.
