PIAZZA TRASIMENO APARTMENT HOUSE

PALAZZINA DI PIAZZA TRASIMENO


1931 Pietro Aschieri (1889/1952)

This building with its peculiar irregular plan had a considerable influence on the style of the residential buildings in Rome

“In this project the usual elements of his repertoire (splayed windows, round balconies, strong chiaroscuro) combine with a subject very dear to expressionist architecture: the dynamic characterization of the angle. (...) From all of works carried out by Aschieri in those years (...) a sort of 'manner' resulted, a taste, a gusto that characterized a significant part of the production of that period” (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
