Fondazione IDIS

THE FONDAZIONE IDIS-Città della Scienza is an organisation whose mission is to create fertile ground for embracing scientific culture and innovation in order to contribute to overcoming the serious economic and productive difficulties that characterise the South of Italy.

The fulcrum of the FONDAZIONE IDIS is Città della Scienza; an innovative structure designed to offer assistance to local development within a national, European and Mediterranean framework.

Città della Scienza is housed in the beautifully atmospheric premises of an old mid-nineteenth century factory building situated in the heart of the ex-industrial area of Bagnoli in Naples; the original factory has been restored and restructured following a project drawn up by the architectural firm Studio Pica Ciamarra Associati and represents the first stage of recuperating an important part of the city and putting it to the best possible use. Città della Scienza occupies a surface of about 65 000m2, of which 45 000 m2 are covered - and made of real archaeological monuments - and it will be entirely completed for the end of this year.
