History
The fort, which covers an area of 2.5 ha (6.2 acres), was built starting from 1882 and finished in 1891 on Monte Antenne, from which it takes its name, near the confluence of the river Aniene with the Tiber.
Until the 1940s it was used as a depot of the Signal Corps and then decommissioned. A part of the fort was taken over by the Municipality of Rome, which only partially used it; the remainder was occupied by military units.
In 1958, on the occasion of the upcoming 1960 Rome Olympics, the public ownership sold it to the Municipality of Rome in order to use it as a camping site, which however was built only in the surrounding park, since some private residences had already been built within the fort.
According to the most recent news, the fort and its complex should be part of a recovery plan, aimed at transforming it in a hotel or in a branch office of the nearby LUISS University.
In accordance with the Code for Cultural and Landscape Heritage, the fort is a protected area under Ministerial Decree August 6, 2008.

The Forts of Rome are the complex of fixed works of military defense constituting the entrenched field of the city, consisting of fifteen "Prussian"-type forts and four hexagonal batteries. They were erected between 1877 and 1891 in defense of the strip of territory immediately surrounding the city of Rome (Italy), then in the countryside, at a distance of about 4–5 km from the Aurelian walls and about 2–3 km from each other, for an overall development of about 40 km (25 mi).

Between the 1860s and the First World War the Kingdom of Italy built a number of fortifications along its border with Austria-Hungary. From 1859 the fortified border ran south from Switzerland to Lake Garda, between Italian Lombardy and Austrian South Tyrol. After 1866 it extended to include the border between South Tyrol and Veneto, from Lake Garda to the Carnic Alps. This frontier was difficult to defend, since Austria-Hungary held the higher ground, and an invasion would immediately threaten the industrial and agricultural heartlands of the Po valley. Between 1900 and 1910, Italy also built a series of fortifications along the defensive line of the Tagliamento to protect against an invasion from the northeast. The border with Switzerland was also fortified in what is known as the Cadorna Line.
Borgo Santo Spirito is a street in Rome, Italy, important for historical and artistic reasons. From a historical point of view, it is considered the most interesting street in the Borgo district. Of medieval origin, it is linked to the foundation of the ancient fortified hospice for pilgrims from England, the Burgus Saxonum. The street houses the oldest Roman hospital, the Arcispedale di Santo Spirito in Saxia, which gave it its name. Heavily altered during the works for the opening of Via della Conciliazione, it nevertheless avoided the fate of the two parallel streets of Borgo Nuovo and Borgo Vecchio, both destroyed.
