1932 Cesare Valle (1902/2000)
Also known as CASA VIOLA (Purple House)
Built after the Development Plan for Rome of 1931 had provided for the enlargement of the roads along the Tiber River at Ponte Cavour with the demolition of some old buildings
Six floors with twelve apartments of four rooms each
"The building, although built at the edge of the old town, rejects any mimetic attitude and instead assumes a particular character of formal elegance that comes from a certain attention both to the rationalist vocabulary and to some experiences of the 'Novecento' (twentieth century) style" (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
