On Thursday 18 July, starting at 12.30, Biella Creative City Unesco 2019 will be presented in the Press Room of the Piedmont Region.

The first goal was achieved: the Italian National Commission for UNESCO in Rome promoted the Biella dossier by sending its own endorsement. Now the game has to be played outside Italy, internationally and Biella’s candidacy looks like the candidacy of Piedmont.

To intervene will be:

Alberto Cirio – President of the Piedmont Region

Claudio Corradino – Mayor of the City of Biella

Vittoria Poggio – Councilor for Culture, Tourism, Commerce, Piedmont Region

Elena Chiorino – Councilor for Work, Education and Training of the Piedmont Region

Francesca Leon – Councilor for Culture of the City of Turin – “Unesco Creative City”

The departments that will be under university management will be the Analysis Laboratory, Otorhinolaryngology, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The agreement between the Biella local health authority and the University of Turin with which some hospital structures become management clinics was signed on Monday 15 July in the presence of the Health Councilor Luigi Icardi and the Councilor for Education Elena Chiorino.

Shared since the beginning with the Mayors of the Territory and with important local realities from the economic and industrial sector, from volunteering and social solidarity, the agreement was carried out thanks to the contribution of the Edo and Elvo Tempia Foundation, of Lilt Biella which have chosen to substantially finance the costs of the clinicalization and of the Unione Industriale Biellese which has chosen to partly finance the administrative costs.

Last week Milano Unica took place, the Italian textile exhibition dedicated to autumn / winter 2020/2021.

From 9 to 11 July, the Biella companies that brought to the event that expression of excellence in the textile sector which we can reasonably be proud of, presented the candidacy logo and posed to support the prestigious project.

They are very special creative portraits: this too is Biella Creative City!

Ph. Roberto Ramella

From Viverone lake to the pastures of Rosazza, from the Ricetto di Candelo to the rice fields of Massazza, passing through the many towns between the plain and the hill and then of course Biella, the capital of a province as small as it is multi-faceted: as a standard the flag of the UNESCO candidacy has ideally covered in these months the 700 km of roads that connect a territory of only 913 kmq to make known the project of candidacy of the City of Biella to the network “Creative cities UNESCO”. A journey lasted months that led to a result that is not remembered in the Biella archives: the collection of the signatures of all 74 mayors of the territory for a common cause.

“When we decided to support the candidacy of the City of Biella, we initiated several communication actions and one of the first was the collection of signatures of the mayors of the territory – explains the President of Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Franco Ferraris – launched on the occasion of conference with the creative cities UNESCO held in January at Palazzo Gromo Losa. However, we realized the difficulty of bringing together so many people scattered over a truly articulated territory that counts municipalities with a few hundred inhabitants and centers with many thousands of citizens, and for this reason the last signatures have been gathered in these days and have involved in some cases newly elected mayors. I must say that on this occasion I have never seen a unity of intents almost total on a project of the territory “.

The collection of signatures as a sign of the unity of a territory that has understood the need to team up to imagine its relaunch starting from the textile tradition, but also fielding the other excellences that characterize it: from art to the environment, from the gastronomy to services for citizens. Like a large tapestry each municipality of the Biella area brings its own specific qualities to compose the photograph of a vital and welcoming territory that supports united for the recognition of the capital as “UNESCO Creative City”.

“An extraordinary result that rewards the work of the promoters of the candidacy who have been able to interpret its profound spirit – commented the Prefect of Biella Annunziata Gallo – rarely in my career have I seen a territory capable of involving in such a capillary way all institutions and cultural forces on a common project, a work truly worthy of praise and which I will highlight in all the highest institutional institutions ”.

“Inserting Biella into the network of UNESCO Creative Cities is a strategic goal that the city and the territory are pursuing with great conviction and conscious determination of their excellence”. Thus begins the joint letter sent to the local media and signed by the new mayor of Biella Claudio Corradino and his predecessor Marco Cavicchioli.

“The recognition by the Italian UNESCO Commission – they write – that gave the green light to the presentation of the dossier in Paris fills us with pride and confidence and confirms that the road is right. The path, initiated by the Cavicchioli council, is now carried forward in every institutional office of the Corradino council in full sharing of objectives and methodologies. We have an extraordinary territory that has been able to combine industrial development, creativity and environmental sustainability, today masterfully synthesized by the logo of the Third Paradise made available by Michelangelo Pistoletto. An ideal of sustainable development in which the best forces of the territory are recognized”.

And again: “We all love our land and this candidacy is an opportunity to give Biella an international revival in the face of which political dialectics and belonging to different sides naturally harmonize in pursuit of shared and superior objectives. Therefore Biella as a seat of a Third Paradise that combines nature and technique and that inspires processes of responsible social transformation through the exercise of politics in its highest and ethical-moral sense, meaning the pursuit of the common good. That is why the candidacy of Biella Creative City is the candidacy of all of us“.
