1930 Gino Franzi (1898/1971)
This
building by the Piedmontese architect Gino Franzi is one of the first buildings
for residential purposes in Rome truly modern in appearance and design
Gino Franzi also designed the Palazzo delle Poste in Naples
along with Giuseppe Vaccaro
“The
functionalist matrix of the project is clear from the distributive solutions,
and the organization of plants, determining the very compact volume and the
extremely simple lines, marked on the front on the street by the horizontal length
of the loggias. (...) Even in the solution of the crowning - an attic floor
which, with its articulation, is a counterpoint to the main volume and a
vertical element that gives momentum and stresses the alignment of the
composition - one can reread formal themes related to European Rationalism”
(Piero Ostilio Rossi)
