Place: Piazza Risorgimento, 20BIS. Address: Piazza Risorgimento, 20BIS, 28857 - Santa Maria Maggiore (VB). Organizer: Comune di Santa Maria Maggiore Saturday 27 June at 17 is the inauguration, in the halls of the Old Town Hall Cultural Center, of the exhibition dedicated to the "taste of beauty among Valleys and Villas". “Ornamenta” is one of the three components of the widespread exhibition that will tell the traditions of the Ossola valleys, with different routes united by a common thread linking Domodossola (with the exhibitions at Palazzo San Francesco and Casa De Rodis) to Santa Maria Maggiore. The exhibition tells of a tradition that has never been immobile. The garments on display certainly speak of belonging, but also of the desire to stand out, to be recognized, to show an achievement reached after years of departures and returns. The route will be divided into three sections: “Above and below”, “From head to toe” and “Here and there”. The first explores the relationship between what is seen and what remains hidden in clothing. Garment, with its immediately readable signs, is only the surface: beneath the surface, in fact, a second landscape is built, that of the undergarments
