What happened last year? Check it out at http://tinyurl.com/Madunina-pics-2012

Some history facts for anyone who doesn't understand the meaning of this word. Madunina is the golden statue of Mary on top of the Duomo (the cathedral right in the center of the city). Mary....Madonna....Madonnina (Little Madonna)....Madunina in Milanese, the dialect spoken in Milano. Got it?
