On July the 13th, during the ALPAA Event in the city of Varallo Sesia, a seminar presented to local stakeholders a new Living Lab promoting tourism and local development through ICT solutions.

The initiative follows the regional Living Lab methodology implemented by CSP in a series of open-air labs all over the Piemonte territory.
The Municipality of Varallo Sesia (located in the North of Vercelli Province) has been actively involved in the development of ICT innovative solutions and services for the promotion of the art treasures preserved in the ancient sanctuary of the so called “Holy Mountain” (UNESCO human Heritage) and of the territory as a whole.
The project main outputs are:
•    a “Personal Guide” mobile system to discover and visit Varallo Sesia;
•    a complete system for the delivery of multimedia promotional contents by different channels;
•    an open-source system (video analysis/video management and high definition IP webcams) for territorial monitoring.

The seminar “Valsesia and ICT: an opportunity for the territory” at ALPAA Event was aimed at involving local enterprises to join the project and manage the project outputs after the end of the experimental phase.
