The 23 Days of Alba

The 23 Days of the City of Alba is a celebration the city dedicates to the memory of the days when Alba was a "free zone" during the Resistance ( from October 10 to November 2, 1944 ). The calendar combines commemoration and exploration, offering a concrete opportunity to revisit local history and reflect on values ​​such as freedom, civic responsibility, and participation.

The exhibition intertwines history and storytelling through its connection with Beppe Fenoglio and his work on the "twenty-three days," bringing together testimony, research, and dissemination in a way that is accessible to a wide range of audiences.

The initiative is promoted by the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Alba and is carried out with the “Beppe Fenoglio” Study Center , in collaboration with the ANPI Alba-Bra section and other city associations: a choral effort that brings together memory, community and culture.

In this review you can find, among other proposals:

• Ceremonies and civic events linked to the memory of the Resistance
• Meetings and historical insights (including on city sites and archives)
• Exhibitions and documentary tours curated by local institutions and archives
• Public readings and Fenoglio events (reading marathons and storytelling sessions)
• Screenings and cultural initiatives related to the themes of the Resistance
• Activities for schools and young people , with an educational and informative approach
