An evening of smiles and solidarity: the "Great Laughter Gala" in favour of Anffas Onlus – Il Melograno Onlus Foundation
On Friday 14 November 2025, the Teatro Fiera in Abbiategrasso hosted an unforgettable evening, an event that combined laughter, joy and solidarity in favor of Anffas Onlus of Abbiategrasso - Fondazione Il Melograno Onlus. With over 350 participants, the Grand Laughter Gala once again demonstrated the strength of the community in supporting important causes.
The evening was enriched by the participation of an exceptional super cast, made up of well-known faces from Italian television. Fabrizio Fontana, better known as Capitan Ventosa by Strip the News, gave hilarious moments together with his son Filippo, who also spoke about the bullying he was a victim of. With them, Marco Della Noce (the Ferrari Mechanic), Giancarlo Barbara, Vincenzo Albano, Nando Timoteo and Naveem Cassera took to the stage, all talents who knew how to involve the audience with their charisma and humour. Coordinating everything was the brilliant Maurizio Castiglioni, who masterfully managed the evening, making everyone feel at home.
The Grand Laughter Gala it was not only a comedy show, but also a moment of great solidarity. Thanks to the support of the Rotary Club Morimondo Abbazia, partner and co-organizer of the event, it was possible to raise funds to support the activities of Anffas Onlus - Fondazione Il Melograno Onlus, committed to improving the lives of people with disabilities and promoting social inclusion.
The success of this edition confirmed once again the value of events like the Grand Laughter Gala, which combine fun and social commitment, creating an atmosphere of joy and hope. Applause for a truly special evening, which demonstrated how a smile can be a powerful tool of solidarity.
