Archive and research space

The archive houses some of the most relevant publications on the Biella area, offering an overview of local customs and traditions, highlighting its salient features and identity.

The A3 version of the publication "111 places in Biella that you shouldn’t miss" reveals to the reader the contents of this "treasure chest sealed with a thread of wool" that "holds art, nature and the creativity of the Made in Italy".

In the first days of lockdown (April 2019) Cittadellarte launched the project "Pandemopraxy" with the text and video "Almost a manifesto at the time of the Coronavirus" (P. Naldini), a choral initiative of restart (rebirth) already oriented towards the post-pandemic period, addressed primarily to the network of Rebirth/Third Paradise ambassadors, but also to all those active in the community with practices and thoughts of sustainable prosperity.

Inspired by the song by Subsonica dedicated to the Third Paradise, the initiative proposes a reflection guided by the questions: "How will you live? How will you learn? How will you communicate? How will you express yourself? How will you do everything you do?". Cittadellarte collected the answers given by the network of artivators, social innovators, entrepreneurs, teachers, administrators, scientists, designers, experts in the various fields of human action, in line with the premises expressed in the manifesto Progetto Arte, M. Pistoletto, 1994. The questions and the answers represent an articulated and ambitious research project that integrates the various devices activated by Cittadellarte in recent decades.
