&lt;p&gt;#MilanoDerbyWeek&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The countdown is on to Saturday’s match that will see &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; compete in the shadow of the “Madonnina”. The &lt;strong&gt;Madonna Assunta&lt;/strong&gt;, created by sculptor &lt;strong&gt;Giuseppe Perego&lt;/strong&gt;, has become a symbol of the city of Milan since it was placed atop the main spire of the Milan Cathedral in 1774.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the years, songs, banners and dances have often portrayed the now famous Golden Madonna, to whom the famous ballad written in 1935 by &lt;strong&gt;Giovanni D`Anzi&lt;/strong&gt; was dedicated: &#34;&lt;strong&gt;O mia bela Madunina&lt;/strong&gt; che te brillet de lontan Tuta d`ora e piscinina, ti te dominet Milan&#34;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The history of the statue, which also hides a lightning rod in the halberd, has been tied to &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; and Inter since 16 December 1899. &#34;We will be a team of devils. Our colors will be red like fire and black like the fear that we will incite in our opponents!&#34;: this is what &lt;strong&gt;Herbert Kilpin&lt;/strong&gt;, founder of the Rossoneri, said in the historic first Headquarters of the club, the Fiaschetteria Toscana in Via Berchet in Milan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the very first derbies, the newly born Rossoneri played against la Milanese, SEF Mediolanum, and Enotria Goliardo. But one night at the beginning of March, at exactly 11.30 pm following a dinner at the ‘l’Orologio’ restaurant in Piazza Duomo, 44 dissident members of the AC Milan society created &lt;strong&gt;FC Internazionale.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The idea was to make it easier for foreigners resident in Milan to play football, given that the Rossoneri had come to terms with the FIGC&amp;nbsp; that required the teams participating in the championship not to register non-Italian players in addition to those who were already in the team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/65018fa4/duomo-sito.png&#34; alt=&#34;duomo-sito.png&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Exactly to distinguish themselves from relatives, one of the founders, the futurist painter Giorgio Muggiani, chose black and blue as the team colours, to pay homage to the clear sky that night in Piazza Duomo and to literally contrast with the red of AC Milan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From March 9 1908, the Madonnina began to witness the rivalry, sporting clashes and banter that began to define the life of the city.
