Things to Do  

Don't miss this marvellous fortification

Don't miss this marvellous fortification, Biella

 PALLINA Says:  RICETTO DI CANDELO (in Biella Province) is one of the most amazing places visited in 2007. If you consider I was in the Biella provice just for work, it has been a really great experience for which I should thank a very nice CPA (certified public accountant=tax advisor)... 

Biella's campanile (bell tower)

Biella's campanile (bell tower), Biella

 Janina_B. Says:  A Romanesque bell tower, the only remaining part of the S. Stefano Church, little more than 50 meters high, it is decorated in terracotta with filled in arches. It is surmounted by a high pyramid-shaped spire and four pinnacles. 

The Duomo (cathedral)

The Duomo (cathedral), Biella

 Janina_B. Says:  Biella's Duomo was built in 1402 on the site of an earlier church but was radically restructured at the end of the 18th century with the addition of the Gothic-like portico (1826). The inhabitants of Biella I met were not very proud of this construction. They considered it...

Hotel "Agata": Hotel Agata, Biella, Biella

 orn-el Says:  During my second visit in Biella, I stayed at Hotel “Agata”. A 2-star family run hotel, which really deserved another star. The room was perfectly clean, tastefully furnished and very quiet. The hotel was just steps from the city center. 

Restaurants  

Il Saraceno-Da Giovanni: Grat seafood experience

Il Saraceno-Da Giovanni: Grat seafood experience, Biella

 PALLINA Says:  "Il Saraceno" by Giovanni was a fantastic surprice for an evening business dinner. But it will be even nicer if you go for your own. Giovanni is a nice guy from Sicily: it is important to say that because in Piemonte everybody who is not coming from Piemonte is looked with... 

Ristorante Baracca: Do not go there

Ristorante Baracca: Do not go there, Biella

 PALLINA Says:  I went there because it was rewarded by a culinary book. I think it was the first time that such gourmet book failed. This 35/40 places restaurant is run in a traditional way (they even don't accept credit cards) but, in this case, it is not a positive thing. First of all... 

La Taverna del Ricetto: if you are in Ricetto, don't miss its Taverna

La Taverna del Ricetto: if you are in Ricetto, don't miss its Taverna, Biella

 PALLINA Says:  If you are in Ricetto, you are very lucky. It's unknown out of Piemonte region but it really worths a visit. If you can afford it, do not miss LA TAVERNA DEL RICETTO. It's very expensive but ist cousine, the ambience and the service worth the price.The locals are nearby a...

 I went to Biella at the end of 2007 for business. I was prepared to find anything but old textile industries ready to close because of the extremely severe chinese competition. Despite the fact the......

A few hours in Biella

 When in Biella, don't miss taking a close look at the Baptistery in Duomo Square. It's a pre-Romanesque building built in the 10th-century. The walls show signs of the original Roman building. There...
