Biella — Città della Lana

Piedmont

Biella's clean Alpine water and textile expertise made it a centre of fine wool manufacturing for centuries, an industry still active today and distinct from the wooded Oasi Zegna reserve the same Zegna family also created in the hills above the city. The flat lower town gives easy walking through the industrial heritage core.
