90 81 The Biella region

The territory of Bielmonte is located only a few kilometres away from Biella, the town of textile industries and of out- lets of the big names in fashion. Bielmonte is well renowned for “kilo- metro lanciato”, a speed ski slope. The skiing facilities of Oropa Mucrone are located close to one of the most famous Marian sanctuaries of the Alpine chain. The newest conception of skiing week that combines sporting activities on the snow, cultural excursions and shopping reaches its peak here. The ter- ritory that surrounds Biella is framed by an arch of mountains that slope gradu- ally down to hills rich in parks and gar- dens, where the artistic and religious wealth combines with unique examples of industrial archaeology. The traditional cookery of the valley, based on simple ingredients deriving from agriculture and widespread stock raising, is famous mostly for the “toma” cheese produced in the valleys around Biella and for the rice and soups cooked according to peasant recipes.

110 111 A region of substance and not of simple appearance, Piedmont is “geographically speaking” a pallet of differ- ent entities, united by common underlying characteris- tics and by a strong predisposition to experimentation.

It is undeniable that the mountains have a very special place in Piedmont’s heart. The region is, in fact, sur- rounded by a “white ring”, made up of one thousand three hundred kilometres of skiing pistes distributed all along the alpine chain.

This “treasure” led the region to being chosen as the location for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. Piedmont also boasts 190 hectares of natural parks and the main city of the region, Turin, has the highest percentage of green areas per inhabitant of all the other Italian cities.

Piedmont: a great “factory” of challenges

These outstanding features are complemented by a sys- tem of high economic and industrial skill that has enabled of Piedmont to reach a top position among the regions of Europe.

In the very near future, Piedmont’s challenge is to accomplish a perfect mix of all its potentials to turn the Games into an unforgettable event in which nature, cul- ture, technology, economic reliability, organisational skills and the attention of the media become one in a unique “prime-time” show.

This is no intimidating challenge, since Piedmont has always been able to thoroughly blend its great tradition with its keenness on innovation.
