00:04 Bergamo and Brescia are even closer thanks to The Gate 2023,
00:08 an installation that links in real time the Italian capital cities of culture.
00:13 An inauguration ceremony that brought the two cities together
00:16 with the Vice-Mayor of Brescia, Laura Castelletti, in Piazza della Vittoria
00:20 and the Mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, in Piazza Matteotti.
00:23 A twin gate, that is, two gates that are the same,
00:26 are two large portals, 9 meters high, of great technological content,
00:33 made by companies from our territories,
00:36 that put in direct communication Bergamo and Brescia.
00:39 Crossing this portal, you have the return of images of what is happening in Brescia
00:44 in Piazza della Vittoria, in Piazza della Vittoria, where the other gate is,
00:48 you can see what is in Piazza Matteotti on the path to Bergamo.
00:51 And it is also possible to dialogue with those who are on the other side,
00:54 in real time, with a good audio and video feedback.
00:57 So, let's cancel out of the blue the 50 km that separate the two cities.
01:01 Besides, Bergamo and Brescia are already much closer
01:04 than they were before this year of culture.
01:07 We worked together with the idea that these two cities,
01:10 really putting together the forces, the ideas, the creativity, the skills,
01:15 could do wonderful things in all areas in which we decline the word culture.
01:21 The Gate 2023 was made with the support of the main sponsor, Bipper Banca.
01:27 Yes, we decided to invest in this project as a main sponsor,
01:31 because it is an innovative project that unites cities, people,
01:36 in a period of culture, in a period in which you have to invest in culture.
01:43 And innovation is a strong glue, because investment in culture is possible.
01:50 A project that confirms the proximity of Bipper Banca in the territories
01:53 and allows you to bring the two cities of Lombardy even closer.
01:56 They are two cities that have always had a path that has united them,
02:01 and at the same time, I must say, they have also been seen in competition.
02:05 But an event like the Capital for Culture
02:08 and also an installation that concretely creates a bridge between the two cities in everyday life,
02:14 I think it is a beautiful sign,
02:16 because as two cities they can collaborate and grow together.
02:19 And I imagine that this initiative can really create value
02:24 also in terms of proximity of the two realities.
02:27 Not only in economic terms, but also in terms of social, of participation of people.
