Novara is a city that wants to renew itself to keep up with the times and this will be discussed on Thursday 6 April at 20.15 on Rai 3 in “Generazione Bellezza”, the Rai Cultura program written and hosted by Emilio Casalini. The Passalacqua Barracks, like many other places, is difficult to relocate but it is also an opportunity to co-plan and co-program, entrusting a public good to citizens who can make the best use of it. This is how the municipal administration entrusts the mammoth building to a group of city associations. The public joins the private sector in the management of the activities inside the former barracks and each brings its own, making music, dance and carpentry workshops flourish alongside the social services offices of the municipality. This way of entrusting parts of the goods to private individuals public is also found in the most important monument of the city, the Dome of San Gaudenzio, a masterpiece of the brilliant architect Alessandro Antonelli. In the dome, Nicola Facciotto has designed an experiential path making it possible to climb up to the spire, enhancing an architectural heritage previously not fully accessible. “Beauty Generation”, in this edition, tells twenty new stories dedicated to a country that still has the desire to dream and to change things. Twenty examples of dreamers, communities, state-of-the-art administrations in the innovation of processes that make everyone’s daily life better.
