San Sebastiano, Renaissance basilica in Biella, Italy
The San Sebastiano basilica features three naves in a Latin cross layout with terracotta decorations and a 51-meter bell tower topped by an octagonal spire.
Local nobleman Sebastiano Ferrero commissioned the construction of San Sebastiano between 1500 and 1504 to house the Lateran Canons in Biella.
The basilica contains numerous artworks, including The Assumption by Bernardino Lanino from 1543 and bronze medallions from Limoges dating to the 12th century.
The basilica sits on Via Quintino Sella and houses the Territory Museum in its cloister, which underwent restoration work starting in 1986.
The wooden choir, crafted by Gerolamo de Mellis in the 16th century, displays intricate inlay work and incorporates medieval Limoges enamel plaques.
