Mongiana Firearms Factory Museum, Military industrial museum in Mongiana, Italy
The museum exhibits a collection of firearms, manufacturing equipment, and historical documents within the original Bourbon-era weapons factory building.
The factory, established in 1852, produced up to 8000 weapons annually for the Bourbon army until Italy's unification led to its gradual decline.
The museum preserves the industrial heritage of the region through exhibitions demonstrating the technical evolution of weapons manufacturing in the 19th century.
Located at Piazza Regina Elena 5 in Mongiana, the museum provides guided tours and maintains an archive of historical documents for research purposes.
Two Doric columns made of cast iron, designed by Domenico Fortunato Savino, mark the distinctive entrance of this former weapons production facility.
