[1][2] One year after graduation, Artini began a job at Edison, a Milan-based energy company.
There she was promoted to managerial roles and helped to design and construct the country's first very high-voltage (130 kV) power line, in the Brugherio-Parma region.
"[3][4][5] In an effort to help other women in technical fields, in 1948 Artini suggested the formation of an association of female professionals and even organized a series of meetings with her Milanese and Turin colleagues.
[3][6] Although she died before it could be realized, the AIDIA (Italian Association of Women Engineers and Architects) was born on January 26, 1957, founded by engineer Emma Strada (its first president), Anna E. Armor, Adele Racheli and the architect Vittoria Ilardi.
According to Altomare, the association continues today and "boasts a path studded with successes, awards and honors."
