Carriage for blessing crowds that belonged to the train of Pope Pius IX. This was the first car called the Loggia of Blessings, built in 1858. Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti (1792-1878) was pope (from 1846) under the name Pius IX. Upon his election, he established rail networks in the Papal States connecting the main cities. In 1859, he was able to travel using a special train of three carriages (the loggia of blessings carriage, the throne room carriage, the chapel carriage), built by a French company in Clichy. It is the oldest train preserved in Italy today and is exhibited in the Centrale Montemartini Museum.

Centrale Montemartini

Rome, Italy

The Centrale Montemartini museum offers an unusual experience for visitors. Inside the walls of Rome's first electricity-generating plant, ancient Roman sculptures and artifacts are displayed alongside massive industrial machines. This striking contrast creates a unique setting where classical art meets early twentieth-century technology.

Ancient Art in an Industrial Setting

Most of the museum’s exhibits come from excavations at Roman archaeological sites. Marble statues, mosaics, and intricate reliefs stand between the old turbines and control panels of the power plant. The combination highlights the transformation of the space from a center of modern progress to a celebration of ancient history.

Combined Ticket Discounts

Visitors can take advantage of reduced admission if they purchase a combined ticket that includes both Centrale Montemartini and the museums on the Capitoline Hill. This ticket offers a cost-effective way to explore some of Rome’s most important cultural collections.
