Enichem Complessi - Porto Marghera, Venice
|
Porto Marghera is the Hamburg of Italy. The biggest industrial harbour of the nation, was born around '20. The most important kind of industry was the chemical, with the production of fertilizers an ammonia (Enichem), organic chemistry products, sulphuric acid, oil refineries (Esso) and the petrolchemical complex of Sicedison (before the War) and Enichem-Montedison (after the War). Next to the "chemical nature" there is the aluminium production with Alcoa, Sava and Alumetal societies.
One cement plant, three power plants, some ship yards completed the picture.
Also a huge coke plant of Vetrocoke was built next to the Ammonia plant but was demolished in 1980 (now is used for coal yard)

The picture upside is the "whale", the last silo of the famous Fertilizers plant of Enichem Complessi.
Now they're reconverting the old zone of Marghera (ammonia, coke, fertilizers) in a Scientific-Technologic Park, called Vega. Find more info on www.vegapark.ve.it
