SIA LUCE

The project “Sia Luce” will be inaugurated on Thursday 17 October 2019 at 7.00 pm in the Duomo in Biella.

The parish of Santo Stefano has decided to start a path that combines art and spirituality and puts the cathedral complex of Biella at the center of its interest, as the fulcrum of the spirituality of the city and its territory.

Sia Luce” will be divided into three moments starting from October until Easter 2020.

Don Simone Rocco, after a series of meetings with Irene Finiguerra, entrusted BI-BOx with the planning and realization of “Sia Luce” hypothesizing three profiles: the inclusion of works of contemporary sacred art within the church; guided tours to show the historical and artistic value of the Santo Stefano complex; reflection on a biblical theme entrusted to a writer or a moment of cultural study.

Two guided tours with free admission are foreseen in the first period:

Saturday 26 October at 4.30 pm baptistery and crypt,

Saturday, November 23rd, again at 16.30 at the Sala delle Corporazioni with Cristo della Domenica.

Sia Luce is a project of the Parish of Santo Stefano, Biella

curated by Irene Finiguerra for BI-BOx Art Space

in collaboration with Studio Anna Fileppo

Four appointments with the nine finalist films of “Visioni sarde 2019”

The twenty-sixth appointment of Su Nuraghe Film presents Visioni Sarde 2019 selection, the best of young Sardinian cinema, pre-selected by the Cineteca di Bologna.

Founded in 2014, the show has grown while maintaining its vocation as a showcase for quality cinema, for the discovery and enhancement of young Sardinian talents, to whom it offers the opportunity to reach a wider public, national and international.

The first of the four appointments of Su Nuraghe Film, on the bill in Biella, Saturday 19 October, at 9.00 pm at the Cagliari Point, in Via Galileo Galilei, 11, will be presented by Giorgio Melis.

Two screenings are scheduled:

– “Spiritosanto“, by Michele Marchi and

– “Eccomi“, by Sergio Falchi.

Both short films produced in 2019 were chosen in the recent edition of “Visioni sarde”: a project of the Department of Labor of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia to promote the best of the young Sardinian cinema.

The first video focuses on the human drama of a teenager with a severe personality disorder; the second speaks of the migration of people: a natural and inevitable phenomenon like that of the flamingos, established in Sardinia and now become the symbol and glory of the island as a metaphor for a happy integration.

The “Visions Sarde in the World” project aims to disseminate its works on several continents through the network of Sardinian circles, the Italian Cultural Institutes abroad, the ComItEs (Committees of Italians Abroad) and the Society “Dante Alighieri” , thanks to the support of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia – Department of Labor.

Although all filmed in Sardinia, the films of “Visioni Sarde” – subtitled in English – are not localistic, but they want to express universal themes: a cinema made in Sardinia with a view to the world: tradition and modernity, urban and rural landscapes, cultural complexity; a thousand aspects and contradictions of the contemporary world transformed by the directors into stories to interpret the world in which we live.

Walk with the author: Danilo Craveia

The appointment with the author Danilo Craveia on Sunday 13 October includes a walk that goes from the Botto di Miagliano wool mill along the canal.

The readings will be curated by Manuela Tamietti, coordinator of the Wool Experience project. The project is from the Amici della Lana association which has been active in the Miagliano factory since 2013 and involves numerous partners: Storie di Piazza, ATL, Rete Museale Biellese, Biellese Cultural Heritage and Landscape Observatory, other associations and the contribution from the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation.

Danilo Craveia, a professional archivist is a well-known scholar of local history, has published a dozen volumes related to various historiographical aspects of the Biella area, as well as twenty articles and essays on the “Rivista Biellese” and the “Bollettino DocBi”. He also collaborates with “Eco di Biella” with over 200 articles in the assets.

Craveia is the technical manager of the Textile Industry Documentation Center (Fabbrica della Ruota), of the Zegna Archive (Casa Zegna), of the Archives of the Sanctuary of Oropa and of the Mantua Festivaletteratura Archive.

His book embraces four centuries of poetry, from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth century, and draws on those Biellese poets who never cease to refer to flowers, to evoke them or to list them. “Floral” poetry is combined with the frailty of experiences, emotions, feelings and existence in general. The Biellese certainly does not represent an exception, on the contrary it tells of Love and death, faith and life, memory and hope, ethics and aesthetics.

Free admission. Information and reservations 3200982237 amicidellalana@gmail.com

Autumn Foliage at the Oasi Zegna

5 weekends at the Oasi Zegna to discover the magic of autumn colors with walks in the Bosco del Sorriso (12 and 13 – 19 and 20 October) and among the chestnut trees of the Moor (26 and 27 October, 2 and 3 – 9 and 10 November) , also suitable for children and four-legged friends.

In the Zegna Oasis, the foliage, together with the pre-summer flowering of the rhododendrons, is the most fascinating spectacle that the visitor can observe.

A sort of autumnal rainbow that spreads its most romantic colors on the paths. A magic that can be grasped, in the Oasi Zegna by participating in the many organized events or simply walking in freedom and stopping, perhaps, to taste the local gastronomy in one of the structures present in the natural park of Trivero Valdilana.

Guided outings, dog trekking, feasts based on typical culinary products, enliven the autumn season between the Bosco del Sorriso, the Brughiera, Castagnea di Portula and the other naturalistic sites of the Biellese Alps.
