History
= The Resistance =
Cellio was the site of no less than two partisan battles during the resistance.{{Cite book |title=il monte Rosa è sceso a Milano: la resistenza nel biellese nella valsesia e nella valdossola |location=Italy |pages=147-151, 358-360 |language=Italian |trans-title=Monte Rosa descended on Milan: resistance in the Biella area, Valsesia, and Valdossola}}
Moscatelli and Eraldo Gastone, in the first half of September 1943, placed a group of former English prisoners, partisan volunteers, in Agaria, a hamlet of Cellio.
It was the scene of a roundup on 19 January 1944. The Garibaldi Brigades had prepared various detachments on the roads leading to Cellio, such as the Gramsci detachment. Lorenzo Beltrametti fell in a vain attempt to blow up a German tank with a rudimentary device.
The Germans had the objective of neutralizing a Garibaldian command headquarters in Castagneia, just north of Breia.
On September 9, 1944 the Loss flywheel even captured a tank which, however, cannot be used but only disarmed.
