Overlooked by the imposing buildings of the historic centre, Torre Canavese extends on the slope of a hill, the extreme western offshoot of the morainic amphitheater of Ivrea.

The place is seductive.
Witness the fact that the major families of the Canavese, from the San Martino to the Antoniono, from the Stria to the Roddi di Cinzano to the Balbo di Vinadio, fought over it for centuries; meanwhile generations ofhard working peasants transformed it into a garden of terraced vineyards, cultivated fields, lovingly tended woods.

Its houses are now embellished with around a hundred paintings by leading artists from the former Soviet Union and the Canavese area.

In this area full of Roman remains and ancient peat bogs, mixed and confused with the green of the woods and the blue of the sky, you can breathe an idyllic atmosphere. The great Canavese crepuscular poet Guido Gozzano, who drew inspiration from the intimate beauty of the place for the ethereal and nuanced visions of the seventeenth-century dormer window of Signorina Felicita.
