Biella

Biella has served as a wool-textile centre in Piedmont since the Middle Ages. Set between the Cervo River and the lower slopes of the Biellese Alps, it is a working city whose name remains closely tied to Italian wool production. The Piazzo, Biella’s upper historic quarter, preserves arcaded streets and a medieval urban fabric, while a funicular connects it with the lower town. Above the city, the Sanctuary of Oropa is a major Marian pilgrimage complex; its Sacro Monte forms part of the UNESCO-listed Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy.
