The 39th edition of the 2019/2020 History Project competition promoted by the Piedmont Regional Council promoted by the Piedmont Regional Council (http://www.cr.piemonte.it/web/assemblea/organi-istituzionali/comitati-e-consulte/comitato-resistenza-e-costituzione) has seen the involvement of the goldsmith district of Valenza through the training agency For.AL "Vincenzo Melchiorre" headquarters in Valenza.

The group of winners is made up as follows: Ms Chantal Bizzarri, Mr. Manuel Gradinariu, Ms. Ginevra Baratti, Mr. Manuel Bonacossa and Ms Rexina Proshka; to join the competition, FOR.AL students have been coordinated by Prof.ssa Mrs. Elena Piccioni, while Prof. Mr. Antonio Carandini managed the level related to the technical achievement of the project.
The European-famous project in which FOR.Al students have been involved, is promoted by the Piedmont Regional Council, through the Resistance and Constitution Committee in collaboration with the Piedmont Regional School Office.
As part of the historical review of a past event that has marked European history, the For.Al group has performed a symbolic goldsmithery ring with CAD techniques in three-dimensional graphics alongside traditional techniques and endings.
"The item – explains Mrs Elena Piccioni - has features related to classic goldsmithery and digital sculpture. The stem designed in wax adopts essential lines; (according to the cost of gold) it was made by fake gold while the head of the ring ends with the two meetings hands. Through this work students from the goldsmith district of Valenza wanted to show the reunification of the two Germans and their extension over the ruins of the wall ”.
Great approval has also been expressed by Dr. Mrs Veronica Porro:
General Manager Veronica Porro
"The participation to this European project - adds Veronica Porro, general Manager of For.Al - has been a reason for our young students to reflect on an ever-present theme that has allowed a rich debate during the hours of history lessons".
