Tips

Alex Far 1970

June 23, 2023

The history of the 12,000-ton press in Terni began in 1934 when the Italian government entrusted the "Terni" company with the implementation of the armament programs which required the preparation of a new fleet of battleships. To eliminate as soon as possible the shortcomings of an industry that was weak in plant engineering.
On 17 July 1934, the Terni Company decided to order the 12,000-ton press from the English company Davy Brothers as part of the infrastructure modernization project. The contribution of the press is decisive both in war and civil production.

In the 1980s, the appearance of some cracks (thin fissures) in the lower crossbar made it clear that the dismantling of the press and its replacement would soon have to take place. The recovery process began in 1994 and ended at the end of 1998. A few days after the completion of the restoration work, on 6 January 1999, this unique monument symbol of the industrial memory of the city was placed in Piazza Dante opposite at the city railway station.

It is a piece of city history, a symbol of work, technology and the commitment of an entire city to its factory.
