Rome rediscovers one of its most precious places: the Museum of the Engineers of the Italian Army. For the first time, this extraordinary complex permanently opens its doors to the general public, transforming into a new cultural venue for the Capital. This is a cultural initiative by Difesa Servizi which, since 2016, under the mandate of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces, enhances military museums. The Museum of the Engineers was chosen to immediately make accessible the identity of a place that is much more than a museum. Its full name, Historical and Cultural Institute of the Engineers of the Italian Army (ISCAG), reveals its unique nature in Italy: a center where a museum, specialized library, historical and photographic archive, study place, research, and memory coexist. Today, this heritage finally reveals itself to the city. Rome gains a new cultural space, open to everyone: families, students, scholars, schools, Italian and international visitors.
A place that tells intelligence as a transformative force: from engineering to communications, from flight to the future. The museum path that now opens to the public invites the visitor to embark on a fascinating journey, where ingenuity, technique, and beauty intertwine in the story of the Engineers' history. Among models, tools, and inventions, one discovers how human intelligence has been able to transform the challenges of construction, communication, and flight into opportunities for progress. Objects of exceptional value testify to this visionary spirit: the original radiotelegraphic equipment of Guglielmo Marconi, who, with his invention - the radio - forever changed the history of global communication; a small display case also houses one of the very first telephones, an invention by Antonio Meucci, accompanied by its early evolutions: from field telephones to military switchboards. These rooms preserve a precious portion of the museum's heritage: environments where every object, from the simplest to the most imposing, testifies to the all-Italian ability to combine functionality and creativity, scientific rigor and aesthetic intuition.
