Tips from the Community
Located in an isolated clearing at the foot of Magnano, the Church of San Secondo is one of the purest and most fascinating examples of Romanesque architecture in the Biellese area ⛪✨. Dating back to the 11th century, this ancient parish church welcomes you with its stone and pebble facade, framed by green meadows and silent woods 🌿. The real protagonist is its majestic bell tower, which stands proudly next to the tripartite structure, offering a timeless atmosphere of peace ⏳

Il Ricetto di Magnano is a 12th-century fortified village that seems suspended in time, located on the crest of the Serra Morenica 🏰. Unlike the more famous Ricetto di Candelo, this one retains a more intimate, wild, and authentic atmosphere 🌿. Strolling through its narrow cobbled streets and ancient stone houses, you'll be surrounded by an almost magical silence 🤫. The highlight is the entrance tower-gate, which still welcomes visitors today, projecting them directly into the Middle Ages 🛡️.

The five lakes of the moraine amphitheater are beautiful, each with its own unique characteristics. They're all worth exploring, preferably on foot, but some are also accessible by mountain bike. If you'd like to learn more about them, please contact me - Piero7
