Milan, May 29 2021 – After last year's success, the Christmas of the Trees returns again in 2021, the format donated by the Bracco Foundation to the Municipality from an idea by Marco Balich, to unite the entire city in a collective and participatory project on the occasion of Christmas. In fact, the notice addressed to public or private bodies, businesses and other subjects who intend to promote their image by collaborating on this project has been published on the Municipality's website. 

“The Christmas of the Trees – declares the Councilor for Quality of Life Roberta Guaineri – involves the whole city, center and suburbs, giving value to every space in the name of solidarity, hospitality and sustainability. Christmas trees created in collaboration with artists or designers will become the center and heart of every neighborhood. A format that requires everyone's collaboration and creativity, confirming the innovative and generous soul that the city has always had." 

Each tree will be different, but all will have to comply with five simple rules: minimum height of 4 meters, visibility both day and night, sustainability of the installation, high scenographic value and positivity of the message conveyed. 

Sponsorship offers must be received by 12pm on September 20th and will then be evaluated by a specially established commission.
