Ivrea — Città Industriale del XX Secolo

Piedmont

Ivrea's "Industrial City of the 20th Century" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognising the Olivetti company's ambitious mid-century project to build not just typewriter factories but a whole modernist urban environment of housing, services and green space for its workers. The flat streets are easy and architecturally striking.
