Ex-Stabilimento Birra Peroni
Widely remembered for being both one of the last artworks signed by Master Michelangelo Buonarroti and for having served as the background of the Capture of Rome (September 20, 1870) before the unification of the country, the Porta Pia area is less known for its extremely high industrial archeologic heritage value. Since the first decades of the 20th century until its dismantling in the 70s, this strategic area hosted a famous beer factory in its Liberty buildings, which today remain as witnesses of a past industrial glory.
