Manifattura Tabacchi, Former tobacco factory in Rovereto, Italy.
The Manifattura Tabacchi stands as an expansive neoclassical industrial complex with multiple halls, warehouses, and a tall chimney in Borgo Sacco district.
Founded in 1854 under Austrian administration, this tobacco factory employed over 1000 workers by the end of the 19th century, with women forming the majority.
The female workers, known as zigherane, initiated social reforms including the first company nursery in Trentino and funded a bridge over river Leno.
The building now functions as Progetto Manifattura, a technological park dedicated to green innovation, hosting businesses and research organizations.
The factory operated continuously for 154 years until 2008, marking the transition from imperial tobacco production to modern sustainable technology development.
