Palazzo La Marmora

Palazzo La Marmora is a palace museum in Biella occupying multiple floors with grand halls, historic rooms, and a gallery displaying period furniture and paintings across its interior spaces. The building also features gardens and a greenhouse that extend the visitor experience beyond the main rooms.

The palace came under the ownership of the Ferrero Della Marmora family in the 14th century and remained in their care through seventeen generations. The family gained prominence through their involvement in Italian unification and military affairs.

The ballroom displays frescoes by the Galliari brothers, while the billiard room holds exhibits about the Risorgimento and the La Marmora generals. These spaces tell the story of how the family shaped Italian history through politics and military leadership.

The main exhibition areas and gardens offer wheelchair access, making most of the interior and outdoor spaces easy to navigate. The property can accommodate groups for events and educational activities throughout the year.

A century-old Ficus Repens plant thrives in the greenhouse and represents one of the oldest living elements on the property. An octagonal tower from the 16th century stands in the garden and overlooks the town of Biella.
