Ivrea, located in the Piedmont region of Italy, offers a unique blend of history and innovation. Founded by the Romans as Eporedia, it later became a medieval center and briefly the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. In the 20th century, Ivrea was transformed by the Olivetti company, known for its pioneering technology and modernist architecture, earning the town a UNESCO World Heritage designation. Visitors can explore landmarks like Ivrea Castle and the Olivetti complex, and experience the lively Ivrea Carnival, featuring the famous Orange Battle.
