Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre

The Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre (sometimes abbreviated as AMI) is a moraine relief of glacial origin located in the Canavese region. Administratively, it encompasses the metropolitan city of Turin and, more marginally, the province of Biella and the province of Vercelli. It dates back to the Quaternary period and was created by the transport of sediment to the Po Valley that took place during the glaciations by the great glacier that ran through the Dora Baltea valley. With an area of more than 500 km2, it is one of the best-preserved geomorphological units of this type in the world.
