Some years ago Bienno has also become the village of artists thanks to a project promoted by the local administration. Every year new artists are selected and should live in the village and manage some of the shops in the old town as their workshops. Moreover Bienno is also embellished by historical palaces, old entrances, courtyards and friendly inhabitants . This is the reason why visitors feel like going back to past by walking through its streets accompanied by the art sound.
