Villa Lucca Park Cultural Season

A widespread season in the greenery of the lake

The Villa Lucca Park Cultural Season is the festival that, from spring to autumn, enlivens the municipal park of Viverone, a small town in the Province of Biella overlooking the lake of the same name, one of the most picturesque in Piedmont. It is not a festival concentrated in a few days, but a program spread over several months, with two or three monthly events designed for all ages.

The Villa Lucca Cultural Park

The true protagonist is the Villa Lucca Cultural Park, inaugurated after a major redevelopment project carried out thanks to the Armonia+ grant from the Fondazione CR Biella. Inside the park, you will find the Municipal Library and the Viverone Lake Documentation Center, as well as a striking Wall of Fame created by artist Martina Zena. The goal declared by the municipal administration is to make the park a space increasingly open to the citizenry, culture, and the promotion of the territory.

A multidisciplinary program

The festival weaves together very different genres and languages. Over the seasons, it has featured stand-up comedy shows and itinerant theater, concerts ranging from jazz to percussion and local brass bands, stargazing and birdwatching evenings guided by experts, scientific outreach meetings, photographic and painting exhibitions, workshops for children, and moments dedicated to the memory of the pile-dwelling site of Viverone, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Culture accessible to all

One of the distinctive features of the Cultural Season is its inclusive nature: almost all events are free of charge. Participants are offered an original "cultural passport" to be stamped at each event, a playful way to accompany the public throughout the festival's journey. In case of bad weather, events are moved to the Municipal Gymnasium on Via Gattinara 51.
