The cadrèga, which in Milanese dialect means chair, is for us the symbol of that typically Milanese way of living life cheerfully.
Here in Milan, the cadrega has always been the center of conviviality: people gather to chat, eat together, and spend time together. People who sit together don’t just share food, but also stories, experiences, and above all, lots of laughter!
The term cadrega is now famous throughout Italy thanks to an epic gag by the comedy trio Aldo, Giovanni, and Giacomo, in which an unsuspecting Count Dracula is subjected to the legendary cadrega trick. We feel represented by this sketch because it captures our cheerfulness, our Milanese spirit, and, why not, that touch of not taking ourselves too seriously that never hurts!
