As a good citizen of Varese, the Mayor has rarely missed this ceremony over the years. \u201c<strong>Since I was a child, I think I\u2019ve hardly ever missed the Festival of Saint Anthony<\/strong>, either for the bonfire, or at least for one of the other events.\u201d And this year too, despite his official commitments, he will be at the Festival, with his whole family, as a citizen of Varese. \u201c<strong>Barring the unforeseen, I\u2019ll be going with my children<\/strong>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Which bonfire do you remember most?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI remember <strong>one bonfire at the time of the great snowfall of 1985<\/strong>. It happened on those very days (<em>around 14 January<\/em>), I was 9 years old and I remember all of those people in front of the bonfire talking about what had happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is that your first memory of the bonfire<\/strong>?<br \/>\n\u201cNo! My very first memory is of the candy floss that my parents used to buy me, which ended up getting stuck to the coats of the people in the crowd: my candy floss ended up becoming full of hairs. I must have been 5 years old &#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Have you ever thrown messages onto the bonfire?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cOf course, sometimes.\u201d Were they for love, or to pass a university exam?\u00a0 \u201cFor the typical reason: more for love than for exams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it like being here in an official role?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s certainly exciting, because it\u2019s one of the great festivals that are most heartfelt by the citizens of Varese; what is more, even people from Varese who don\u2019t live here anymore, remember this festival with great affection. And these are the days when the town comes together to start the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if you were to put a message into the bonfire for the town<\/strong>?<br \/>\n\u201cWell, I won\u2019t say anything, otherwise it won\u2019t come true!\u201d he jokes. But then he adds, \u201cAnd this year, I\u2019m really going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is his first bonfire as Mayor, but not his first as a citizen.
