Marinetta Ombro is a joint project between Arcada, a university of applied science in Helsinki, Finland, and La Kolegio Ilana, an academy of philosophical enquiry in Marinetta, Rosario.

Its aim is to construct La Mentala Rosario, an online representation of the history, culture and commerce of the mediterranean island of Rosario.

Its purpose is to explore the theoretical and practical pedagogical possibilities such a simulation might provide.

Work on the project began in 2002 and is now situated in the online "world" Second Life.
