Villa Schneider, Art Nouveau villa in Biella, Italy
Villa Schneider stands at Piazza Lamarmora, near the historic center of Biella, at the intersection of Via Micca and Via Gramsci.
The German SS and Italian forces requisitioned the villa after September 8, 1943, transforming it into their military police headquarters and interrogation center.
The National Association of Italian Partisans maintains an office in the building, which hosts annual Day of Remembrance commemorations for World War II events.
Visitors can schedule guided tours through ANPI volunteers to view the permanent exhibition showcasing historical documents and wartime testimonies.
Radio Baita operated from the upper floor of Villa Schneider during the war, broadcasting Nazi propaganda while resistance fighters responded with Radio Libertà.
