    It is one of the oldest hydroelectric power plants in Italy: it was officially inaugurated on October 9, 1901, in the presence of the King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele III. Between 1935 and 1938, it was completely modernized, based on a project by architect Giovanni Muzio - an exponent of the so-called Novecento artistic movement - also increasing the power to 31.5 MW.
    The power plant, of significant historical value, represents the perfect union between past and future and is an important element for energy production using flowing water technology.
