Sweet Solidarity: The Suspended Panettone Unites Como
In Como, the glimmer of the holiday spirit is alive and well with the tradition of the suspended panettone. Now in its fifth edition, this charitable initiative turns a simple Christmas treat into a profound symbol of generosity. In 2024, over 100 artisan panettones have been collected, demonstrating the community’s commitment to supporting those in need.
The suspended panettone concept invites people to buy an extra panettone, which is then donated to individuals and families facing hardships. This initiative not only spreads holiday cheer but also strengthens community bonds. Participating in this project is a sweet way for both locals and visitors to contribute to the spirit of giving in Lake Como.
For newcomers to the area, joining in on this tradition is a wonderful opportunity to engage with the local culture and make a meaningful impact. Whether indulging in the rich flavors of panettone or participating in the collection, expats and visitors alike can experience the warmth of Como’s community during the Christmas season.
