The Biellese territory stretches at the foot of the Alps in northern Piedmont, with a variety of landscapes that make it unique and surprising for every visitor who approaches it. Thanks to the richness and variety of its environment and landscape and the charm of places endowed with a strong evocative power, the Biellese area has often been defined as a "showcase of landscapes". It is among the very few territories in Piedmont and Italy to have several ’UNESCO World Heritage" sites. Since 2019, the city of Biella has been awarded the prestigious status of UNESCO Creative City, joining the network of 246 cities, 11 of which in Italy, that share the goal of putting creativity and the cultural industry at the heart of their local development plans and actively collaborating on joint projects at the international level.
