Alberto Barbera supports the candidacy of Biella Creative City

While the 76th Venice International Film Festival is about to be inaugurated – scheduled from this evening, Wednesday 28 August, to Saturday 7 September – Biella’s candidacy for the UNESCO Creative Cities network receives valuable support: that of the Doge of Italian cinema, the Director of the Exhibition Alberto Barbera.

I was born in Biella” writes Alberto Barbera in the letter sent to the mayor Claudio Corradino to show full support for the initiative (available in the “Letters of support” section) “and although my professional career has taken me far from the place of origin, I was deeply connected to the city that not only gave birth to me, but contributed to my human and cultural formation“.

And he continues: “The values ​​that the Biella area has expressed in the past – inherent to its history, its traditions and the events that have made it an essential reference point for creative entrepreneurship and quality – are etched in my memory and in my identity as an individual and a citizen of the world. From an early age, I was brought up to admire the respect of those who had been able to make a decisive contribution to the extraordinary creations of the wool and clothing industry, for which Biella is still known throughout the world. A contribution made of inventions, stubbornness, commitment, trust in one’s possibilities, together with the ability to share knowledge and resources, hard work and ambitions, in the sign of the will to attribute to one’s own activity the recognizable sense of belonging to a community that recognizes itself in the same ideals and values ​​.

A strong support, “convinced, writes Barbera “with the hope that it can achieve all the success it deserves, helping to give new life to the union between innovation and tradition that made the City of Biella great in the past“.

On 20 September Biella will host the “preview” of the Fashion Night

On Friday 20 September there will be a «preview» of the Fashion Night, an event that will involve the merchants of the center and that is worth as an event parallel to the National Fashion Night initiative, promoted for 27 September by the Rete Tam institutes (Textile fashion clothing ), Smi (Italian Fashion System) and Confindustria Moda.

In Biella will be the Technical Institute «Q. Sella» to promote the day, with its own event in Città Studi.

It is a symbolic first event coordinated by the new Department of Commerce with delegation to “City of Fashion”. As Barbara Greggio explains: «The preview of the Fashion Night will be just a small message to start to convey the project of« Biella Fashion City», which provides an overall redevelopment of the historic center and its attractiveness. An operation that will require time, resources and territorial marketing ideas. But in the meantime, on September 20 we begin to draw the line of a path, which must lead to the objective of making Biella known and its potential beyond the borders“.

Promote new events and broaden horizons is a theme at the heart of Councilor Greggio: «The challenges are many, for the revival of trade and visitors from neighboring provinces and regions. We need to work on several fronts and there are bets to be won: with Biella Città della Moda I think, for example, of the goal of obtaining recognition in 2022 of Biella “City of the Alps” and again the candidacies to bring to our territory in 2021 the Tourism exchange of Mountain and Biodiversity in Oropa. And again the Exhibition of sustainability in collaboration with IdeaBiella and Milano Unica. Without forgetting the full support for the candidacy of Biella Creative City Unesco».
