Palazzo della Pantanella a Piazza della Bocca della Verità, Industrial complex near Bocca della Verità, Rome, Italy
The Pantanella Palace stands at the intersection of Via dei Cerchi and Circo Massimo, featuring a rational architectural design with large windows and symmetrical facades.
Built between 1878 and 1881 under Michelangelo Pantanella's direction, this structure operated as Rome's first pasta factory until its relocation to Via Casilina in 1929.
The building represents Rome's industrial heritage, marking the transformation of the Circo Massimo valley from an ancient circus into a manufacturing district.
The structure now houses municipal offices and storage facilities for the Rome Opera House, with access available through the nearby Circo Massimo metro station.
During renovation works, workers discovered the Pantheon Mithraeum, an ancient underground temple dedicated to the god Mithras beneath the building's foundations.
