Biennale of Legality

A civil biennale in the heart of the Susa Valley

The Biennale of Legality is a biennial event that makes the culture of legality and the memory of mafia victims its guiding thread. Established in 2024, the event is organized by the Associazione Calabresi per la Legalità ODV and unfolds as a widespread event across several municipalities in the lower Susa Valley, in the Province of Turin: Caselette, Alpignano, and Almese, with stops that have also included Turin and Pianezza over the years.

For the Municipality of Caselette, in Piedmont, the Biennale represents an appointment of strong civil value, capable of uniting schools, local administrations, associations, and citizens around the themes of anti-mafia, rights, and collective responsibility.

Events in Caselette

In Caselette, events are concentrated in two symbolic locations. The first is the Sala 150 of the Municipal Library, on Strada Contessa, which hosts meetings and testimonies dedicated to the duty of memory and the right to truth. The second is the Scala della Legalità in Piazza Cays, where local school students, the Youth Municipal Council, and local mayors host moments of public reflection during the days of the Day of Memory and Commitment.

Voices and testimonies

The program brings together family members of mafia victims, journalists, magistrates, and institutional representatives. In its editions, the Biennale has hosted figures such as the relatives of Pio La Torre, Peppino Impastato, Placido Rizzotto, and Lea Garofalo, as well as reporters, parliamentarians, and members of civil society committed to the front of legality.
