On Sunday 25th August at 3.00 pm there will be a visit to the hydroelectric plant of F.lli Botto Wool Mill in Miagliano.

“The underground factory” is a fascinating journey into the bowels of F.lli Botto Wool Mill, to discover the heart of the old factory, an active and pulsating heart, fed by the irrigation ditch that runs from Sagliano to Miagliano: the ultra-modern hydroelectric power station operated by Renewable Energies Srl.

A narrative through images to rediscover the history of Biella: from the maximum industrial expansion of the Sixties to the de-industrialization of the Eighties and Nineties.

With “Biella, a portrait of a factory town” by Qui c’entro, the second edition of the exhibition on the walls proposes a route that winds through the city with 9 giant photographs – of which we propose the first four attached, already posted in the past weeks while the others will arrive in September – and five exhibition spaces located within: Camera del Lavoro, Biella Civic Library, Città Studi Biella Library, Sella Foundation and Spazio Cultura of the Cassa di Risparmio Biella Foundation.

It will be a real visual immersion in the over three hundred images of places, architecture, structures and productive infrastructures that have marked the economic, industrial and social history of the city center of the Biellese wool textile district system.

Sunday 11 August at the Botanical Garden of Oropa at 15:00 the festive appointment with the guided tour is renewed (cost included in the admission ticket), enriched this Sunday by the workshop for the youngest Little Thumbs: new dedicated laboratory proposal for the little ones (ages 5 to 10 years and over).

The laboratory will bring children closer to the world of insects, thanks also to BLIPS, a special set of mini lens lenses for smartphones and tablets that allow you to see deep into the microscopic world.

Thursday 15 August: “Tribute to the garden“.

The month of August allows mountain and botanical lovers to visit many Botanical Gardens of the Alps. An association that gathers a part of it, the AIGBA, founded in 1970, has among its objectives the disclosure and among the activities it promotes one in particular will be the protagonist in two Piedmontese Gardens: “Tribute to the Garden”, which will take place at the same time as the Oropa Garden and the Rea di Trana Garden. In both Gardens the staff will be available to visitors to provide information and distribute documentary material on the plants while all paying visitors will be given a potted plant as a gift, while stocks last.

On Sunday 11th August, in Graglia, the 17th Festival of Emigrants is scheduled, organized by the Valle Elvo and Serra Eco-museum Association in collaboration with the Donato Emigration Documentation Center.

“At the Festival – explains Ivano Maffeo, the person in charge of Donato’s site – will participate, in addition to the usual large group of emigrants from our area coming from Chambéry, a large colony of emigrants originating from all the other Piedmontese provinces who settled in the same Savoyard town. As Documentation Center we collaborate by transferring that day the exhibition ‘Emigration from beyond the Alps’ directly to the Sanctuary of Graglia. Donato’s cell will still be open: there the exhibition will be visible on screen and we will project a specially prepared video“.

The meeting will take place, for the first time, at the Sanctuary of Graglia, where – at 10.30 am – a Holy Mass is scheduled.

Refreshments offered by the Santuario Foundation will follow and lunch will be held at 12.30.

As anticipated by Maffeo’s words, a large delegation of members of the Piedmontese World Association – Chambery section – led by President Angela Caprioglio will attend the day this year.

“Between 1861 and 1961 – added Simonetta Coldesina, operator of the Biellese Museum Network, in relation to the exhibition – 11.5% of the population started from Valle Elvo and Serra. In just 40 years from 1874 to 1914 about 70,000 people emigrated in the Biella area, 66.1% of the migrants who left the Elvo and Serra valley traveled, mostly on foot, to the Piccolo San Bernardo to reach France, the majority concentrating on a triangle between Lyon, Grenoble and Chambery, but many came to the border with Switzerland on one side and with the Côte d’Azur on the other. The workers could count on concrete job prospects thanks to the dense fabric of ties and information that circulated between the workers. 44% of emigrants from Valle Elvo and Serra were masons, 6.2% building contractors“.

For more information and reservations on the party and on the exhibition, call 3355394009 – 3384459933.

Imagine a romanesque Church, lost in the fields at the end of an unpaved road. You walk in, sit down and the lights dim, leaving you in candlelight.

The music starts. This is the experience we invite you to come discover, where you can hear early music, performed in the spirit of the period in which it was composed, on original instruments or copies.

Created in 1986 with the collaboration of passionate friends, Musica Antica a Magnano has gradually extended its activities to concerts, music courses and a bi-annual symposium. We invite you to discover them through this site and hope to see you soon.

The Festival concerts are held in August and early September. The antique beauty of the buildings in which they take place, a 12th-century church and the town’s 17th-century church, enhance this experience.

The concerts will start at 21.00. Admission is free but reservation required.

We invite you to discover them on the website www.musicaanticamagnano.com
