1897 Cesare Bazzani (1873/1939)
One of his earliest works, criticized at the time by architect Gustavo Giovannoni for its "obvious concessions to the fashionable Art Noveau style"
It was built on the PASSEGGIATA DI RIPETTA (the Ripetta Walk) designed in the years 1811/14 by Giuseppe Valadier (1762/1839), but open and ornate with trees in about 1840 under Gregory XVI Cappellari (1831/46)
Now it's just a pale fragment of a fresco now indistinguishable, a corner of Rome disappeared under the traffic of a lungotevere, but that can still be admired in this elegant albeit algid and full of premonitions "Ripetta Walk" by Francesco Trombadori kept at Palazzo di Montecitorio
