Palazzo Gromo Losa

At the Biella Piazzo Cultural Hub, from April 25 to July 19, 2026, Selvatica – Art and Nature in Festival returns, the biennial event entirely dedicated to nature and the environment.

The historic Gromo Losa and Ferrero palaces are ready to host artists, photographers, creatives, and researchers in a program that combines painting, photography, and sculpture exhibitions with educational workshops and side events, all united by a single, overarching goal: the safeguarding and protection of the environment.

Selvatica 2026 will feature the first major exhibition in Italy dedicated to the American artist John James Audubon, one of the most important naturalist artists in history. Born at the end of the 18th century in the French colony of Santo Domingo (modern-day Haiti), Audubon is famous for his spectacular illustrations of American birds, compiled in the celebrated and monumental The Birds of America.

An exceptional selection of 40 masterpieces will arrive in Biella, offering a unique opportunity to admire in person the expressive power and scientific precision that have made Audubon a timeless icon.
