A few steps from the Cathedral of Biella, under the medieval village of Piazzo, where there was once the Revenue Agency. The treasure inside the building, built by the textile industrialist Tamellino from Trivero in the early 1900s, is the entire archive, collections and offices of FILA. A precious guardian: the only space that could contain all the heritage of the red and blue icon of Made in Italy in sport. A circular route inside the Museum retraces the stages of the company's evolution, the goals and champions' suits (like those of Ingemar Stenmark), the collaborations with high fashion. The archive, with over 40 thousand pieces, is waiting to be discovered. Perhaps, it will be the last opportunity to see this space, with the plan to move to the first industrial headquarters in FILA in via Cesare Battisti, now under renovation.
