Bimbo Faber 2022 Award assigned to "Carlo Piacenza".
For the high social and cultural impact on the Biella area, for the ability to have kept people employed locally, for the value that represents in the ability to export the prestige and manufacturing excellence from Biella all over the world and for striking decision to keep the property, identity and the roots of a historic brand inextricably linked to our territory, the Jury decided to proclaim as winner of the second edition of the Bimbo Faber Prize 2022 the Lanificio F.lli Piacenza for the "acquisition of the Cerruti brothers wool mill since 1881".
The Bimbo Faber 2022 Award also sees the birth of the claim to make the objectives of the initiative and the possible candidates ever clearer:
Passion Territory Project.
“Each award obviously has the objective of rewarding a unique, differentiating, deserving factor. For the Bimbo Faber Award, I imagined the intersection of three levels: the personal one of the child, expressed by the passion that, together with courage, leads us beyond our limits, towards the fullness of our desires. That of society, of others, of the territory. Which leads us to consider the context as an active part or an important result of our actions. And that of doing... Bimbo Faber... which in my opinion best interprets the values of CNA, which in the "excellent know-how" recognizes the value necessary to be rewarded. Because in the project the dream meets the action becoming reality. Today more than ever we need people who recognize and pursue their own path, who plan a better future, tracing paths that others can follow and make their own."
