TOUR ITINERARY

The Centrale Montemartini is always a surprise for visitors: would you believe that ancient statues are exposed in a Thermoelectric Centre? This is a mesmerizing example of industrial archaeology born in 1997. Some of the statues of the Capitoline collection reside here, unifying two opposite worlds: the one of the technologies and the one of antiquities, creating a perfect fusion of the two. Machines and statues, modernity and classicism, all wrapped in an amazing museum that you will discover in the recently restored neighborhood of Ostiense.
