Acea Heritage

A new space to rediscover the cultural heritage of the Acea Group through photographs, industrial objects, and works of art that tell the corporate, urban and cultural history.

What is Acea Heritage?

Acea Heritage was created to enhance the cultural heritage of the Acea Group by making it accessible to visitors in a renewed space at the heart of its headquarters in Piazzale Ostiense. The project is part of Museimpresa, the Italian Association of Corporate Archives and Museums, which, through a network of archives and corporate museums, aims to promote corporate cultural policy.

The redevelopment project

The project involves the redevelopment of the Salone del Pubblico and its transformation into an exhibition space with hybrid purposes, conceived as a place for meeting, discovery, and dialogue for those who experience the spaces of the Piazzale Ostiense headquarters in Rome every day.

At the moment, Acea Heritage is open to all the people of the Group. Starting in September, citizens will also be able to visit it on specific days by reservation.

The exhibition: art, design, and architecture at Acea

The exhibition serves as a mirror of the transformations of the contemporary world and offers a journey through the history of modern Italian architecture.

Through an educational and chronological display of documents, archival images, industrial engineering objects, and works of art, the exhibition tells the story of Acea alongside Rome’s major moments of productive and social growth.

The Acea Building: an example of modern architecture

Acea’s headquarters, designed in 1956 and completed in 1961, is an example of Italian modern architecture. It was conceived to integrate into the urban context of the Ostiense district. Its functional and modern design is characterized by the use of materials such as reinforced concrete, glass, and aluminium.

The monumental fountain of Piazzale Ostiense

Architects Ugo Macrì, Giorgio Quaroni, and Angelo Romitelli collaborated on the design of the fountain in Piazzale Ostiense, which consists of a large, oblong pool enclosed by marble slabs, at the centre of which a vertical structure stands. The fountain area and the adjoining garden were conceived as an environmental and urban sculpture, serving as a bridge between the artificial and natural elements of the surrounding area.

Piazzale Ostiense: Acea’s square

Acea’s headquarters is located at a connection point between historical Rome – represented by the Aurelian Walls, the Pyramid of Cestius, and Porta San Paolo – and the industrial city, which extends from the Gazometer to Via del Commercio. The square, which serves as a junction for the railway and underground systems, takes on its characteristic “light bulb” shape in its roundabout, while the plan of the building symbolically recalls the letter “A” of Acea.

Acea: history, technology, and urban identity

The evolution of electric and hydraulic technology is illustrated through symbolic objects from Acea’s ecosystem: alternators, transformers, token-operated meters, historical lamps, and fountains.

These elements, which today are part of industrial archaeology, contributed to the social and identity-related progress of the city, creating a deep connection between technology, urban design, and collective memory.

Gino Marotta and Pietro De Laurentiis: masters of Modernism

Drawings, sketches, and studies - on loan from private collections and institutions - tell the story of the work of Gino Marotta and Pietro De Laurentiis for Acea’s headquarters. The works of both artists, housed within the spaces of Acea’s building, represent a perfect combination of contemporary art and Italian modern architecture.

The art of Gino Marotta

Gino Marotta, an eclectic artist, worked from the 1950s through the 2010s. His artistic experimentation was characterized by the use of various materials and styles, always maintaining a deep connection with the artistic movements of the twentieth century.

The sculptures of Pietro De Laurentiis

Pietro De Laurentiis created large bronze sculptures for the headquarters in Piazzale Ostiense - works that share the same spirit of experimentation and contemporaneity as the company itself.

The inauguration

The inauguration of Acea Heritage was held on 10 July. Barbara Marinali, President of Acea, Fabrizio Palermo, CEO and General Manager of Acea, and Roberto Gualtieri, Mayor of Rome, attended the event, emphasizing the importance of the project as a bridge between historical memory, corporate identity, and future vision.
