Born is Oro Bianco - a story of sport and community: the exhibition that tells the Olympic spirit of Alta Valtellina.
Dedicated to the roots, passion, and Olympic triumphs of Valtellina, the exhibition route celebrates a land where snow is not just a natural element, but a true identity language. Alta Valtellina experiences winter sports as destiny, tradition, and the driving force of a community that, over the course of more than a century, has transformed everyday gestures into discipline and collective passion into international results.
The exhibition
A journey through history, innovation, and sporting memory, Oro Bianco intertwines the life of the territory with the evolution of winter sports, presenting an exceptional selection of objects from the Vallivo Valfurva Museum, photographic archives, historical and modern equipment, and original materials provided by the athletes.
The route guides visitors through:
- mountain life objects that tell the ingenuity of alpine communities;
- archive photographs that immortalize the birth of the first sporting practices, historical and contemporary technical equipment highlighting a century of innovation;
- medals, bibs, trophies, and original memorabilia from local champions.
At the center of the main hall, the stories of the protagonists take shape, presented through authentic Olympic medals, a true collective treasure that testifies to the strength, talent, and determination of generations of athletes who have brought Valtellina to the top of the international scene.

The exhibition gathers materials provided by the Vallivo Valfurva Museum, from private collections of athletes, and from photographic and audiovisual archives.
The project is promoted by the Valfurva Administration and the Proloco, which commissioned SOLUZIONIMUSEALI ims and Dr. Arch. Massimo Simini for the design and setup.
