Oasi Zegna
The Oasi Zegna in an area 30 times the size of New York City’s Central Park in the Italian Alps.
This natural territory surrounds ZEGNA’s Wool Mill and has been home to the
brand’s values since 1910.
The brand’s Founder, Ermenegildo Zegna, began reviving
the area’s once-barren landscape with the planting of a single tree, igniting a
reforestation project that has resulted in 500,000 trees and counting being planted to
date.
Sanctuary of Oropa
Dedicated to the Black Mary, the Sactuary of Oropa, located close to Biella at less that 15 kilometers from the city and in the heart of a large natural reserve, is among the first in Europe in regard to its importance. The Sanctuary includes, other than a Sacred Mount, the original church erected on top of an old chapel as well as the more recent and real sanctuary, equipped with different facilities for the hospitality of tourists and worshipers.
All around the sanctuary there are also many local restaurants, which are the natural inheritance of the typical taverns of past times and still serve nowadays traditional dishes to pilgrims, tourists or even random strangers.
