Spazio Aperto (Bellinzona)

History of Open Space

In the northern neighborhood of Bellinzona, which has grown up without urban planning, there has long been a need for a place to socialize.

It was then that it was thought to build in the meadows of the convent, a center that would allow the population to come together to meet their social and cultural needs.

The facts did not want said center to be an offshoot of the Church but promoted a lay association to run it.

Thus Spazio Aperto was born in 1992 at 9a Gerretta Street.

Since its first years of operation, the Center has proved to be of great use not only to the neighborhood of the city of Bellinzona but, given its location, is in demand throughout Ticino and even from Inland Switzerland as a meeting place.

Those who have used it so far have always admired the essentiality of its architectural lines, the convenience of its spaces, which allows for assemblies and small study groups, as well as concerts of various kinds.

But what is most appreciated is the fact that a large group can exclusively reserve the entire center so as to carry out entire days of study, even stopping for lunch or dinner.

The Conferences

The halls of Open Space are particularly suitable for all those companies, associations, educational institutions that need their own space to be able to set up conferences, assemblies, meetings or courses of any kind there, when the need arises.It is also possible to use our hall for political events, art presentations or even, as is already the case, to use our main hall for musical and artistic essays.
