The Italian industrial city of Ivrea was added to Unesco's list of World Heritage sites on Sunday. Ivrea was developed in the 20th century as a testing ground for Olivetti, manufacturer of typewriters, mechanical calculators and office computers, was also rewarded. Unesco described the city as "a model social project" expressing "a modern vision of the relationship between industrial production and architecture".
 
Unesco's World Heritage Committee made the announcement at its meeting in Bahrain. A much older historical site was also added to Unesco's Heritage list on Sunday. The remarkably well-preserved remains of the Caliphate city of Medina Azahara, a medieval Arab Muslim town near the Spanish city of Cordoba, was also rewarded.
