The perfect place to visit for Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AME) students in Rome doesn't exist...
…or does it?

Our AME students visited Centrale Montemartini, Rome's first public power plant, built in 1912 and transformed into a museum in 1997.

Today, its original industrial machinery creates an extraordinary backdrop for sculptures, mosaics, and archaeological artifacts from the Capitoline Museum Collections.

Have you ever heard of this place?
