» La Nivola e il Santo Chiodo
» Milano - Milan Cathedral
A ceremony of ancient origins is celebrated in the Cathedral every year. A strange contraption consisting of a large sheet metal chest wrapped in papier-mâché decorated with angels enveloped in wispy clouds and holding five canons and the archbishop of Milan, rises up to 45 metres in height, thanks to a complex system of electric winches and, when it reaches the vault of the apse of the Cathedral, it allows reaching a case that contains one of the Nails of the Crucifixion and a fragment of the Cross. The strange device, which is called Nivola, is supposed to have been designed by Leonardo (it was originally operated by twenty men on the roof of the Cathedral) to allow the bishop to reach the Holy Relic and carry it in procession inside the Cathedral. The first recorded procession of the Holy Nail dates from 1576 when, during the plague, San Carlo carried the relic in procession from the Cathedral to the Church of San Celso to plead for an end to the epidemic.
