ONE DAY
Experience

Description

A day dedicated to Borsalino, ambassador of Made in Italy in the world, and to the city of Alessandria, where the historic company was founded 166 years ago.

The Borsalino hat is synonymous with artisan tradition and excellence. All the production activities are still carried out on the outskirts of the city in the new premises of the company, the actions of the ‘borsaline’, the name given to the female workers of the historic factory are repeated daily. Thanks to the factory visit, you will discover that 52 processes by skilled artisans are required to make a Borsalino hat; each stage is carried out exactly as it was 166 years ago, no serial moulds just passion and a high level of professionalism. The journey continues at the Museum: with modern multimedia supports you will go back over the history of the Borsalino family and its unbreakable bond with the city of Alessandria. The route continues through the eight monumental windows designed by Arnaldo Gardella for the ancient Borsalino Samples Room which rhythm the passage among as many narrative sections with more than two thousand hats on show. A journey among cinema, art and design through the most famous hat in the world.

The experience is completed by a guided tour of the city of Alessandria to discover the works realised by the Borsalino family for the city, as true patrons at the service of the community (they also built the aqueduct and the sewage network) which feature the architectures of Arnaldo and Ignazio Gardella such as the houses of the employees, sanatorium, dispensary.
