We often talk about exhibitions in Milan, London, New York, but we forget that some countries, such as Italy \u2013 but also France, Spain, Greece but not only \u2013 are populated with small villages that tell unique stories of craftsmanship, local workers and national history. An example of these realities is Bienno<\/strong>, an ancient medieval village in Valle Camonica, in the province of Brescia, which has become a real open-air workshop for 31 and 12 years respectively, with the Mostra Mercato<\/strong> and with the Borgo degli Artisti<\/strong>. The locality is also part of the Club I Borghi pi\u00f9 Belli d\u2019Italia (Most Beautiful Villages in Italy Club) <\/em>and in 2010 it received the prestigious “Bandiera Arancione\u201d (Orange Flag) award issued by the Italian Touring Club<\/strong>, an excellence and quality certificate in hospitality reserved for small inland towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village has well-preserved historical and recent architecture<\/strong>: the Simoni F\u00e8 Palace, the sixteenth-century Casa degli Artisti, the historic craft shops and forges equipped as laboratories, the narrow streets that open onto medieval courtyards, but also the mill that still collects the water from Vaso R\u00e9<\/strong>. It is an artificial canal that has been collecting part of the waters of the Grigna stream for almost a thousand years: once, it supplied the energy necessary to move the hammers of the forges, the millstones of the mills and the blades of the sawmills and subsequently to the electric control unit – another historic architecture used as an exhibition space during events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
