Cittadellarte, Art foundation in Biella, Italy
Cittadellarte operates in a former textile mill spanning 8500 square meters with exhibition spaces, offices, accommodations, and a cafeteria serving 80 guests.
The foundation emerged in 1998 when artist Michelangelo Pistoletto transformed an abandoned wool factory into a center for artistic and social initiatives.
The center maintains multiple departments focusing on visual arts, theater, dance, music, economics, politics, and education to promote social transformation through creativity.
Visitors can explore the facility on weekends from 11:00 to 16:30, while Thursday and Friday visits require advance arrangements between 10:00 and 17:00.
The University of Ideas program welcomes international artists for extended residencies, combining living spaces with creative workshops to address global challenges.
