What Piacenza is known for
Founded in 1733 in Pollone, outside Biella, this wool and cashmere mill is now run by the fourteenth generation of the Piacenza family — a member of Les Hénokiens, the association of family firms over 200 years old. Spinning, weaving, and knitting all happen in the group's own facilities, from mill-direct cashmere knitwear to ready-to-wear.
