Tips from the Community
At Casa Bose in Chiaverano, the "Il Cuore delle Camelie" Park opens to the public: a place of the soul before even a garden, a flowery embrace set in the morainic amphitheater of Ivrea, where over 400 camellias tell a story of passion, memory, and sharing. Throughout the year, the "Il Cuore delle Camelie" Park will be visitable free of charge by reservation: asspiccolocarro@gmail.com

The square was opened between 1843 and 1844 after the demolition of the Church of Santa Chiara and the southern part of the convent of the same name. The Convent of Saint Clare was built in 1310, and the nuns remained here until 1802, the year the order was abolished following the Napoleonic decree suppressing religious orders. The approximately 2,200 square meter square was created specifically for the grain market, as the colonnades could serve as shelter for grain during bad weather.
