Centrale Montemartini
PrizeHonorable Mention in Interior Architecture Photography / Historic Interior
LocationBari, Italy
PhotographerNicola Roberto
Built in the early 1900s and inaugurated in June 1912, the Centrale Montemartini (so named in homage to Giovanni Montemartini, councillor at the time for the Municipality of Rome and proponent of the initiative) was the first public electricity production center in Rome which powered the city for half a century until 1963, when it was decommissioned due to obsolescence. After a careful conservative restoration in the 1980s, it became the second seat of the Capitoline Museums, thus representing today a fascinating combination of industrial archaeology and classical archaeology.
