Borgofranco d'Ivrea

Borgofranco d'Ivrea is a small comune (municipality) located in the Metropolitan City of Turin, within the Piedmont region of northern Italy. It is situated approximately 50 kilometers northeast of Turin, near the town of Ivrea, from which it takes part of its name. The comune covers a limited land area and has a relatively small population, consistent with rural communes in the region.

The local economy is primarily based on agriculture and small-scale enterprises. The area is part of the historic Canavese zone, known for its vineyards, castles, and medieval settlements. Borgofranco d'Ivrea may have medieval origins, as suggested by the "Borgo" prefix, commonly used in Italian place names to denote a fortified village or settlement.

The comune falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Metropolitan City of Turin and adheres to regional governance structures established by the Italian Republic. Like many small Italian municipalities, it maintains autonomy in local affairs while participating in broader provincial and national systems.

Demographic data, administrative details, and specific historical records about Borgofranco d'Ivrea are available through official Italian government sources such as the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) and municipal records.
