Is there in Mondovì's  summer programming, an event able to reconcile young and old? The answer is yes and corresponds to the name of "Feu 'dla Madona", fireworks that illuminate every year the first nights of september of the Moro's city, keeping Monregalese and tourists with the nose upwards,  in search of the "perfect shot" with their cameras. The glow of the fireworks display, scheduled for Monday, September 7 (or the next day in case of bad weather), will slash the sky starting from 10.30 p.m.:  "A tradition felt and full of expectations - said the mayor Stefano Viglione -: an event that the children live with the same enthusiasm of the adults. We are facing a real festival: for this reason we have increased the number of side events, thus encouraging participation. Among the wide range of alternatives, this year there will also be the Palio Montis Regalis to give a medieval setting to the evening: there can be no better way to celebrate all together. "

As anticipated by the words of the mayor, numerous initiatives are related to the "Feu 'dla Madona". In Piazza Maggiore, for example, starting at 8:30 p.m. will be the usual distribution of "Pan e persi" ( bread and lost) by the association "La Funicolare", which can also count on the accompaniment music of the town band.

In the Park Europe, however, the show will start at 9.30 p.m. dances on a small stage with  "Lella and her orchestra", while all the museums and monuments that are part of the integrated urban system "Mondovi City of Art and Culture" (Museum of ceramics and prints, Mission church, civic tower of the Belvedere and the halls of the Bishopric) will be open to the public from 8 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. (only the civic tower anticipate the closing half-hour).

Finally, a singular proposal comes by the "Monregaltour", which for the evening of September 7, organizes "Mystery and vip fires ... in Mondovi!"; an event during which the participants, starting from the sopranos arcades of Piazza Maggiore, will be accompanied by an expert guide to discover the Church of the Mission and of the many mysteries surrounding the monregalese capital. The group then will head to the Belvedere gardens and, at around 10 p.m., will be conducted exclusively on the municipal tower to appreciate the color tones and arabesques drawn by the fireworks from one of the highest points of the city. Followed by a tasting of local products and the obligatory conclusive toast .

Interested will ratify their membership (15 euro per person) within Sunday, September 6 , 6 p.m. (there is a maximum number of 15 members), by telephoning the association (0174/47428) or by sending an e-mail to:  info@monregaltour.it.
