The church was built in the 18th century in the Borghetto district of Ivrea, outside the city walls, and is dedicated Gratus of Aosta, the second bishop of Aosta. [1] [2]
The church is located in the Borghetto district of Ivrea, Piedmont, overlooking the waters of the Dora Baltea river near the Ponte Vecchio. Situated south of the river, it faces northeast. The neoclassical facade is characterized by Ionic pilasters and is divided into two sections. The lower section features the entrance portal, which opens onto Via Guido Gozzano, while the upper section contains a large rose window with stained glass that illuminates the interior. The facade is crowned by a large broken pediment.

The apse of the church overlooks the right bank of the Dora Baltea. [1] [2]

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. As an extension, it is surpassed in Italy only by the similar formation surrounding Lake Garda. The name amphitheater, usually given to these geomorphological structures, refers to their characteristic elliptical shape that is noticeable when it is shown as a plan on a map.
