Palazzo Gromo Losa was originally an elegant noble residence. The original nucleus of the complex is the northeastern wing, which most likely dates from the 14th century. Over the following centuries the building was extended to its present dimensions. At the end of the 19th century the Palazzo was acquired by the Rosminian Sisters of Providence, who founded the “Beata Vergine d’Oropa” (B.V.O.) Institute. In 2004 the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation invested 12 millions euros to maintain its cultural vocation, giving space to various Biella associations and carrying out a thorough restoration. Nowadays Palazzo Gromo Losa is a site for both a modern exhibition centre and a series of social and cultural events and projects. Its charming and functional venues make Palazzo Gromo Losa the ideal location for hosting conferences, meetings and concerts. Created thanks to the support of a private patron from Biella, the Italian garden covers about 10,000 square metres in all.
