Biella
Italy
city, Piemonte ( Piedmont) regione, northwestern Italy. It lies at the foot of the Alps, on the Cervo River, northeast of Turin. A Gallic and Roman centre, it was a medieval possession of the counts of Vercelli before passing to the house of Savoy in 1379. Biella is divided into Biella Piazzo (upper) and Biella Piano (lower) towns, joined by a cable railway. There are many medieval and Renaissance mansions in the upper town, while the lower is distinguished by a cathedral (1402; remodeled), 10th-century baptistery, and the Renaissance churches of San Sebastiano (1504) and San Girolamo (1512–17). Biella also has an archaeological museum and an art gallery. On Alpine slopes above the city is the famous pilgrimage resort of Santuario di Oropa, believed to have been founded in 369 by St. Eusebius. A major centre of the Italian woolen industry, Biella also manufactures cotton, silk, and linen textiles. Pop. (2006 est.) mun., 46,062.
