Ivrea

The city extends across the Dora Baltea river at 253 meters elevation, surrounded by five lakes including Sirio, San Michele, and Pistono.

Romans established Eporedia in 100 BC as a strategic outpost to control Alpine invasion routes, later becoming a Lombard duchy and Frankish county capital.

The annual carnival features the Battle of the Oranges, where thousands of participants throw citrus fruits at teams riding carts through the streets.

The central train station connects Ivrea to Turin in 47 kilometers and Milan in 102 kilometers, with regular regional rail services.

UNESCO designated the city as a World Heritage site for its industrial architecture, developed during the Olivetti typewriter manufacturing period.
