From the Sanctuary's website: "The Sanctuary of Graglia, located in the Biella region, is a 17th-century place of worship dedicated to the Madonna of Loreto. Immersed in nature, it combines spirituality and baroque architecture. Originally conceived as a Sacro Monte project, it is today a destination for pilgrimages and offers an atmosphere of peace and contemplation."

The Burnel is an ancient cup-marked stone located halfway along Via Maestra, the road that crosses the center of Nomaglio. On its surface, the cup marks engraved in prehistoric times are still visible, small hemispherical cavities whose exact function remains a subject of debate among scholars — perhaps linked to propitiatory rites or cult practices. In more recent times, the stone was adapted into a fountain, with a basin carved out for water, and on the stone, you can also observe the grooves left by the blades and knives that the villagers used to come here to sharpen. The name "burnel" indicates precisely this: a fountain with a stone basin. It is an object that, in a few square centimeters, tells of centuries of daily use superimposed on prehistoric traces, and has accompanied the life of the village for times much older than the stone houses with the typical Canavese arches that surround it.
