The Biellese is a breed of large domestic sheep indigenous to the province of Biella, in Piedmont in north-western Italy,[3][4] from which it takes its name. It may also be known as the Razza d'Ivrea, after the town of Ivrea, or as the Piemontese Alpina.[3] The Biellese is one of the seventeen autochthonous Italian sheep breeds for which a genealogical herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.[5]
