Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century

The designated UNESCO World Heritage site spans 71 hectares and contains 27 buildings constructed between 1930 and 1960 in the Rationalist architectural style.

The Olivetti company transformed Ivrea during the 20th century from a small town into a model industrial city through extensive architectural and urban development projects.

The buildings across Ivrea reflect the integration of industrial facilities with social spaces, creating an environment that prioritized worker satisfaction and community engagement.

Visitors can start their exploration at the new information center near the railway station, which provides detailed maps and guides to the industrial heritage sites.

The Unità Residenziale Ovest, known as Talponia, features an underground residential complex designed in the shape of an amphitheater with terraced apartments.
