Cossato

Cossato is a municipality in the Province of Biella in northern Italy, situated in an area crossed by the Strona di Mosso stream. The town spreads across gently rolling terrain with a mix of residential areas and historic structures.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul dates from before the year 1000 and collapsed, leading to a complete reconstruction in 1614. This rebuilding shaped the architectural character of the settlement.

The town preserves its character through community spaces like the Municipal Library housed in Villa Ranzoni, where residents gather regularly. These meeting places reflect how the community maintains connections to its past.

The town connects by bus to Biella, which lies roughly a half hour away and is easy to reach. Visitors should be prepared for a quiet place with typical Italian infrastructure and amenities.

Villa Berlanghino impresses visitors with its original wooden staircase, a detail preserved from its original construction. The building sits directly beside a public park and displays characteristic features of aristocratic architecture from its time.
