The Museo Nazionale Ferroviario di Pietrarsa has hosted a meeting dedicated to guidance and advanced training in sustainable mobility, bringing railway heritage into direct contact with the education of future railway workers.
The initiative, reported by Il Mattino on 12 November 2026, was promoted by ITS Academy TEC MOS under the title "Valori sballati". Conceived and led by Enzo Memoli, it used a lesson-show format to discuss professional choices, personal growth, and the relationship between people and work. The event was designed to bring together students, trainers, and companies active in sustainable mobility.
Representatives of ITS Academy TEC MOS were joined by participants from ANM, ANSFISA, Alstom, and EAV. Pietro Diamantini, sole administrator of EAV, pointed to the human factor as the decisive lever for improvement within the company.
A museum that explains railway work
The choice of venue gave the discussion a concrete historical frame. Pietrarsa stands between Naples and Portici, along the route of the first Italian railway, inaugurated on 3 October 1839 between Naples and Portici.
The museum preserves more than 55 historic rolling stock items in the pavilions of the former Bourbon workshop, alongside locomotives, carriages, instruments, models, and railway layouts. The setting therefore placed the training debate among the machines, tools, and vehicles that document the development of rail transport in Italy.
Conservation, outreach, and training
Pietrarsa is part of the network of Fondazione FS Italiane, established on 6 March 2013 to safeguard Italy's historic railway heritage. The Foundation manages Pietrarsa among other sites, including the museum of Trieste Campo Marzio.
Fondazione FS describes its museums and workshops as places of knowledge and activity, where rolling stock is preserved and repaired and where visitors can gain an understanding of the railway world through immersive experiences. In this sense, the museum's role is not only exhibition: it also serves as a place for activities, events, and explanation of railway work.
That broader function helps explain why Pietrarsa was used for an event on transport and advanced training. Conservation, outreach, tourism, and training are presented by the Foundation as connected parts of the same heritage mission.
What the Pietrarsa lesson-show signals
No attendance figures or measurable outcomes for the initiative are given in the available reporting, and the official Foundation pages describe the museum's general role rather than this specific 2026 lesson-show. What is documented is the approach: use a historic railway site to frame a discussion about career decisions and workplace growth, with training providers, operators, manufacturers, and safety institutions present in the same room.
For readers following railway training in the Naples area, the key points are the promoter, ITS Academy TEC MOS; the format, "Valori sballati" as a lesson-show; the participating organizations, ANM, ANSFISA, Alstom, and EAV; and Diamantini's emphasis on people as the central factor in company improvement.
