“No rejection of Milan in the manger offered by Campania. It was I who asked to send him to Bergamo, because before being a councilor in Lombardy, I am from Bergamo, a Christian, an orphan, a widower and no children. And I’ll spend Christmas alone. Bergamo is my city and it has suffered a lot from the Coronavirus. For me, the nativity scene is an important symbol and I would never have rejected such a precious gift ”. She is suffering Lara magoni, Councilor for Tourism and Marketing and Fashion of the Lombardy Region, on the governing council Attilio Fontana. Magoni suffered greatly from the controversy triggered by Lombardy’s alleged refusal to host the nativity scene offered by the Campania Region in Milan as a gift to all Italian regions as a symbol of unity in the Coronavirus crisis. Contacted by Fanpage.it, theCouncilor Magoni clearly denies that there was a refusal. In fact, the Lombard councilor, from Fratelli d’Italia, energetically claims the option of sending the nativity scene to Bergamo, a city that more than others has become a symbol of the fight against Covid19, due to the many victims who have hit it.
The Neapolitan nativity scene was assembled in Bergamo yesterday morning, at Buonincontro master shepherds of San Gregorio Armeno, historic street of nativity scenes in the heart of Naples, which this year was strongly affected by the Coronavirus crisis. The traditional Christmas fair, in fact, which attracted thousands of tourists and visitors from around the world, could not be held due to the pandemic.
“The cribs – explains Magoni – were offered by the Campania Region. The shepherds participated in a public tender. And the Campania council decided to donate them to the Italian regions as a token of closeness and affection. I am a councilor in Lombardy, but also in Bergamo and I suggested to my colleague Casucci that a symbol as beautiful as the manger should go to Bergamo. It was a choice that I personally wanted. This city that has become famous around the world for its suffering, for the photos of military tanks with the victims of Covid who have traveled the world. When I saw Casucci’s letter, I immediately thought that Bergamo needed an important message. I think I made an important Christian gesture of closeness to a territory ”.
“Even Casucci – Magoni explains – was hurt by this pointless controversy. This was not the message of the crib, it wanted to be an important symbol, a really strong emotional bond between Bergamo and Campania. A misleading controversy that hurts me. I have suffered enough as a woman, I am mortified by these words. I have worn a rosary around my neck for 45 years and have never taken it off. Furthermore, I am from the Brothers of Italy, not from the League, and our leader Giorgia Meloni is very attached to the Neapolitan crib ”.
The master of the manger: “Bergamo, a beautiful city”
“The mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, was very kind, he says Michele Buonincontro, pastor teacher on Fanpage.it – An exquisite person. He welcomed us very well and really enjoyed the job. I knew at the last minute, when I went to the region to sign the contract, that instead of taking it to Milan, as agreed, the destination would be Bergamo. How is work? It is a classic Neapolitan nativity scene from the 18th century, built according to the canons of tradition, with the Roman temple and the rustic house. Yesterday morning we mounted it at the inauguration of the City Hall at 7.30. They were very friendly, they provided us with everything we needed. Bergamo is a beautiful city. “
