San Martino Vescovo di Tours is the Roman Catholic parish church located in Albiano d'Ivrea in the Province of Turin, region of Piedmont, Italy.
History
A church at the site had been present putatively since the fourth century and later dedicated to St Martin of Tours.
The present church building was designed by Francesco Martinez of Messina, great-grandson of Filippo Juvarra, and built during 1775 -1780. The bell-tower dates from the 13th century. It has only five bells, since Napoleonic forces confiscated bells in excess of this number from campaniles for scrape metal to use in munitions.
