Last week, my class took a group trip to Biella, Italy. Biella is about an hour and a half away from Milan. We took a coach bus to Biella to visit the Zegna Wool Factory and see how wool is produced. I really enjoyed this group activity. If you don't know who Ermenegildo Zegna is, I will tell you. Ermenegildo Zegna, is an Italian fashion house that produces very nice men's clothing. It is very popular and obviously well known in Europe. The Zegna family created this company in 1910. The Zegna factory, (which is located in Biella) is a museum that shows how the Zegna family started their business. We visited, the museum and the factory as well. It was interesting to see how the family got started in this business with wool, and then to actually go and see a store of theirs was really neat. Here are a few pictures of my experience in Biella at the Zegna wool factory.
