BERGAMO E BRESCIA:

UNITED IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID, UNITED IN THE CAPITAL OF CULTURE, UNITED IN THE HUMAN CHAIN

Viva vittoria Bergamo and Brescia will launch a special project on the occasion of the 2023 Capital of Culture event: an extraordinary human chain

40.000 people united by a 1.5 meter-long chain link will stand next to each other along approximately 80 km route “uniting” Bergamo and Brescia

KNITTED STRIPS AND FUNDRAISING

We ask everyone to create a knitted strip 150 cm long and 10 cm high, with two wrist loops at each end. All knitted strips must be handed over to the organisation, which will provide them to the participants of the human chain.

At the end of the event, they will be the subject of a fundraiser in favor of associations for the support of adolescents.

• Knit or crochet a 150cm x 10cm strip in the materials, colours and technique of your choice.

• Unleash your imagination and customise the strip with lettering or embroidery

• Add your signature in any shape or manner

• Create 2 cords 14 cm long in a chain shape with the crochet hook and attach them to the ends of the strip, obtaining 2 loops in which to thread your hands up to your wrist
