Biella Rugby relies on the expert Carlo Orlandi
«I was lucky enough to be part of professional rugby for many years, but I have known Biella for a long time, I have been there more than once following the national teams that played matches in your city and I was struck by the work done over the years this club – his words -. Biella has created a structure even before seeking results, it is the basis for pursuing ever higher goals. Biella has a beautiful facility and people with clear ideas, there aren’t many places like that.”
