Eagle Hack Lab / Simplemachines HQ, an hystorical place that merits a visit...
Situated on sacred soil, atop an ancient church's foundations (over the catacombs),
which dates back to 300 AD, this significant church was the first to safeguard material
remains of Saint Agatha. It stands over Roman ruins and alongside one of the town's
oldest streets, named "Santa Maria di Betlemme.".
Before its transformation into a Templar church, this site served as a temple from time
immemorial, reflecting the common practice of constructing new churches or temples
over older sacred sites.
Now known as Palazzo Beneventano, the building features two prominent marble
angels flanking an impressive iron door that stands 8 meters high and very thick,
resembling a fortress. These angels, symbolizing protection, draw the eye,
while two dragons, positioned at the end of the grand hallway, complete
the entrance, contributing to a sense of balance and wholeness.
Inside, the center of the hallway is graced by four prestigious
marble Ionic columns, dating back 2,000 years. Some claim
these columns originate from the church's foundations, while
others believe they were rescued from the nearby amphitheater.
There are also assertions that they were brought here by agents,
along with unidentified artifacts now buried in the Roman foundations,
lost in the mysterious legends surrounding the building. The current
structure, built in 1840, rests atop Roman foundations that rise
several meters high, above 10 meters, where the church has
been built and rebuilt over the centuries, always preserving
the underlying Roman level.
Eagle Hack Lab and Simplemachines HQ occupy few rooms
in the GF located within the old stables that once housed horses.
we have given new space for Simplemachines members and created a Lab for Social Purpose IT research ...

Some philosophical aspects on the names
We like the Eagle Symbol since it is a symbol of Freedom (sometime abused and with different meaning).
But this is not the only reason why we pointed to eagle nebula for the naming of the machines and the lab itself.
This is very simple, the eagle nebula is a star forming cloud/region
and most of our projects have star naming!?!
(§ Sagittarius A* Spiral City and
seven multiple stars --> Mizar, Alcor, Avior, Mira, Rigel, Superwasp, Trapezium).
The Eagle nebula is very popular so that together with Orion Nebula,
is one of the most know nebula in the sky.
Eagle nebula and Pillars of Creation
Inside the nebula we have the pillars of creations, for analogy the pillars are helpful to create stars (the projects) BlackPillar --> |

We are recently investigating to run more powerful Clients, as Atomic PI with 1Gbit LAN as VNC terminals.
So beside 4-5 machines + a couple of Laptops and low end x86 (mostly new SBC like Atomic PI)
the eagle lab will not extend.
Some machines has been sold, other purchased new.
so this images have purely historic information
