Biella protagonist in Paris

On the occasion of “The Contemporary Day” which will take place on 12 October, the Italian Cultural Institute based in Paris will host this afternoon the Master Michelangelo Pistoletto – initiator of the movement of Poor Art and founder of Cittadellarte – in dialogue with the businesswoman Anna Zegna, President of the Zegna Foundation.

A dialogue between art and entrepreneurship with the Biella area and its excellence in the background in a very important moment for the city that is a candidate for the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the Crafts & Folk Art cluster.

Today on La Repubblica is published a beautiful interview of the artist who tells the reasons for this event: “The recognition of UNESCO could reinforce what we already do [to Cittadellarte] for a sustainable art and to instill in the Biella people a sense of solidarity and common commitment“.

According to the Master – who made his Third Paradise available as a symbol of the candidacy – Biella deserves to enter this network.

During the evening, will be presented as a preview the documentaryCittadellarte: practices of responsible art“, by Manuele Cecconello, that will talk about Cittadellarte, which has now become the “center of social regeneration through the relationship with the various areas of common life“, explains Michelangelo himself. .

The Biellese delegation that will accompany the two “testimonials” of the candidacy will also be composed of the Governor of the Piedmont Region Alberto Cirio (since the candidacy of Biella represents the candidacy of Piedmont), by the Mayor of Biella Claudio Corradino and by the Deputy Secretary-General of the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation Andrea Quaregna.

Biella in scena 2019-2020

The new season of the Villani Social Theater kicks off on Saturday 26 October.

Here is the message from the Organizational Director, Mario Liore, and the Artistic Director, Rita Ballarati:

Every theater season brings with it expectations, expectations, trust, commitment and determination, Biella in Scena 2019/2020 is particularly so.

We participated in a call for tenders that saw us winners, with immense pleasure, for the second time and this fills us with great pride, after a few weeks of uncertainty.

Next season will be a tribute to Emotions, joy, expectation, emotion, enthusiasm, loneliness, anger, passion.

Re-reading these moods are those that we experienced while we were working on the new project for the Villani Social Theater. We are Mario Liore, Rita Ballarati, Silvia Naretto, Katia Billia, Ludovico Capussella, Il Contato del Canavese, a somewhat strange name, made up of faces that by now you have learned to know.

All of us, few, to tell the truth, let’s do Teatro! What does Fare Teatro mean? Too long to explain but we guarantee two things:

– The First: it is a job not a hobby, almost always a good job, better than many others, almost always.

– The Second: when the curtain closes, then reopens and the audience rises to applaud giving the impression of not wanting to leave the theater, here in that moment “doing theater” is the most beautiful job in the world!

The exhibition on Romolo Ubertalli has been extended

Given the positive feedback and interest aroused in the public, the opening of the exhibition “Romolo Ubertalli: the light of the landscape“, already visited by a thousand people, will be extended until October 13 (Sunday from 2.30 pm to 18:30, within the Rete Museale Biellese).

The exhibition, set up at the “Fabbrica della ruota” of Pray (reg. Vallefredda, 1), intends to rediscover the pastelist of Castagnea, in his dual role as a painter and photographer, through the analysis of a fund acquired by the DocBi – Centro Studi Biellesi, consisting of various notebooks containing hundreds of “studies and sketches” and about 1,600 of his photographs.

The elaboration of the material, which made it possible to highlight the relationship between photography and painting in the artist’s “working method” and which brought out an all-round photographic talent, was developed through the contributions of Carlo Bozzalla Pret, Claudia Converso , Danilo Craveia, Alessandra Montanera and Giovanni Vachino.

The exhibition is enriched by various works by Ubertalli, some of which are unpublished, coming from private collections.

A non-secondary part of the exhibition is dedicated to the works of art of the children of four Biella elementary schools (Andorno Micca, Crevacuore, Portula and Tollegno) who, thanks to their teachers, welcomed DocBi’s invitation to revisit the style and the Romolo Ubertalli’s technique producing more than a hundred very successful and suggestive works.

On the occasion of the exhibition the catalog can be purchased at a discounted price.
