Distilleria di Ferrara - alias "the Grappa plant"
We spent two days in this majestic location.
It was built in 1930 as F.I.D.A. (Fabbrica Italiana Derivati Acetilene - Italian Acetylene By-Products Factory), to synthesize fuels from acetylene for the Italian Air Navy. During the 2WW it was totally destroyed and rebuilt in the late 40s, converted to the alcohol distillation. In the first time, alcohol was used by the nearby petrochemical plant to produce synthetic rubber; then, after the discovering of methane deposits near Ferrara, it used methane in the rubber process. So the distillery began to distil molasses from sugarmills of the area. After them closure at the end of the 90s, the distillery slowly ceased every activity.

Picture: from the left we have 1) the Mazzoni distillation unit 2) the power plant 3) the old distillation tower 3) the main body (fermentation plant, silos and others). In the foreground we have some molasses tanks. The picture was taken by the molasses plant, built in the late 50s.
(The pano-picture is the result of 5 consequent pictures)
