The Videocentre (former Officine Bosco)
The factory in question was the "Bosco" company, Terni’s second most important metalworking company after "Terni", located close to Porta Spoletina, adjacent to the medieval city walls. Antonio Bosco, the founder of the company, started his business as a blacksmith and manufacturer of agricultural equipment in an old farmhouse at the beginning of the last century.
The factory grew rapidly and in 1924, appropriate warehouses were built to adequately accommodate the increasing productive activity, which ranged from boilermaking to the manufacture of industrial plants.
An expansion that encompassed the old Flaminia Road, which leaving the city through the gate, continued up towards the Somma. It was an interesting area due to the persistence of historical findings, even though they were no longer available. According to ancient chronicles, a large arch of triumph once stood there. There were also some ancient churches there and more interestingly for history buffs, were the Three Monuments, namely the cenotaph dedicated to the memory of the Tacitos, the historian Cornelius and his descendents Annio Floriano and Marcus Claudius, Roman emperors.
A factory, the Bosco, that had always struggled with the space available to it, decided to build a new factory outside the city.
Around 1980, when the factory was relocated to the Terni-Narni industrial area, the decision was made to acquire and recover the main buildings so as to make them available to the community for cultural activities, recovering and restoring the oldest and most significant part of the factory and promoting the combination of early 20th-century architecture with post-modern elements in the design of the recovery.
The Videocentre was therefore created, originally as part of a multimedia production system which included the Multimedia library and the Papigno film studios. Several television dramas as well as Roberto Benigni’s triple Oscar award-winning film "Life is Beautiful" were filmed in the warehouses of the former Bosco.
