The APD Pietro Micca supports Biella Creative City

After the letter of support sent on 17 March – in which the President Ercole Passera expressed his full membership and support for the initiative – the “Pietro Micca” Amateur Sports Association decided to seal its support with two recent initiatives.

During the Pietro Micca Day, an event held on Saturday 7th September at the Zumaglini Gardens, the organizers set up a corner for the creation of “creative portraits” (visible here: #millefiliuntessuto) which are enjoying success on social media and a few days ago they took a photo with a group of athletes attending the Academy of sport with the candidacy banner.

Another confirmation of the team spirit that is continuing to create this path. Thanks!

“For Biella a revival Unesco branded”

Biella deserves this recognition because it has been good at defending a chain that has no equal over the centuries” says Franco Ferraris, President of the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation in an interview published on la Repubblica Turin yesterday, Monday 23 September.

And he continues: “Here we start from the wad of raw wool to get to the high quality fabric that is exported all over the world: there is no other example, at least in Italy, of a complete cycle like that of Biella“.

The Chief Executive Officer of Ermenegildo Zegna, as well as Chairman of the CRB Foundation, believed from the beginning in the project to bring Biella into the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. With the Municipality he has developed a candidacy that is now preparing for the final sprint: “It is a strategic tool for relaunching the territory. It can really allow us to make a qualitative leap in tourism […]. Basically, to say that Biella is inside the MiTo it is not only a good communicative image of the master Pistoletto. We are really an hour from Turin, a little more from Milan and Genoa […]. But we are also in a decentralized position [… ]. And then you have to be good at getting people to move here“. In fact, the Biellese is “a land where industry, environment and art have gone hand in hand for centuries […]. But we need to communicate. That is why entering the Unesco network would be a nice way to put ourselves at the center“.

A result of the candidacy process has already been achieved: aggregate the Biella area, all united for a common purpose: “Something extraordinary – continues the interview with Ferraris – Precisely because it was able to form a team […] for the first time the 74 mayors of our province have supported a goal together, and Biella, the capital of artisan creativity, has succeeded even in this small miracle“.

Where you look at the world

The show “Where do you watch the world“, winner of the “2017 Childhood Award” will be held on Sunday, September 29th at 16.30 at Opificiodellarte, in collaboration with Piemonte dal Vivo Foundation.

Dedicated to the difficult art of learning and the need in life to meet good teachers, it tells the story of Danya, a nine-year-old girl who struggles to learn to write. Along the way of writing he stops, he loses pieces but, thanks to the meeting with four friends, each one with unique physical, character and behavioral qualities, he learns to put the pieces together until he reaches his “point of joy”.

The show is part of the collateral events of the Father and Son exhibition. Ettore Pistoletto Olivero and Michelangelo Pistoletto, curated by Alberto Fiz and created by the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation, Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and Fondazione Zegna. The exhibition is divided into three locations in the Biella area – Palazzo Gromo Losa and Cittadellarte – Pistoletto Foundation in Biella and Casa Zegna in Trivero – places the artistic production of Michelangelo Pistoletto in dialogue with that of his father Ettore Pistoletto Olivero, rediscovering a meeting between generations where it is possible to “leave a legacy to the fathers” (Michelangelo Pistoletto).

For info and reservations on the show Opificiodellarte Secretariat from Monday to Friday from 17.00 to 19.30 – tel. 015-30901 – info@opificiodellarte.it

The mountain that will be

On 28 and 29 September in Gli Orti de La Malpenga, 60 small producers will talk about the excellences of the fruit and vegetable productions of the Alps.

The focus of the event (admission: seven euros) will be the local area as a source of experimentation for many agricultural and tourist entrepreneurial initiatives: a series of meetings on the theme “The mountain that will be” explores a territory, the Alpine one, considered difficult, unsuitable for cultivation, almost wild and that now, with climate change underway, new technologies and managerial dynamics becomes fertile ground for agricultural excellence, breeding and gastronomy.

The meetings – organized by FAI Delegation of Biella and L’Ortoaccorto – will follow the program that is attached.

Gli orti de La Malpenga

On Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th September 2019 there will be the 5th edition of the “ORTI DE LA MALPENGA – market show for the vegetable garden, the orchard of autumn and surroundings” organized in collaboration with the Piedmont Academy of the Garden of the FAI Biella Delegation, of Slow Food Biella and the Agricultural Institute “Vaglio Rubens” of Biella – IIS Gae Aulenti”.

The event will take place in the historical park of the “Villa La Malpenga” in Vigliano Biellese (BI) and in the adjacent vegetable garden and apple orchard and will be divided into three main areas:

– the first is represented by the market exhibition in which over sixty producers are selected who represent the excellence of local and not only local fruit and vegetable productions;

– the second is represented by the didactics that take place in the large demonstration garden and in the apple orchard with the support of the Professors and students of the Agricultural Institute;

– the third from conversations in the green, represented by a series of lectures and book presentations, from laboratories and tastings served in the restaurant during the event.

The 2019 edition will include the deepening of the mountain as a testing ground. Cultivate in the mountains, raise at high altitude, start new agricultural and tourist entrepreneurial initiatives: today, in many cases, the mountain is a land of research and innovation.

The event will therefore welcome some experienced exhibitors in this field, as well as explore through the green conferencesThe mountain that will be” different specific areas that concern it, from climate change, to agricultural and breeding excellence, from gastronomy, to new entrepreneurial dynamics .
