VIA S. VALENTINO APARTMENT HOUSE

PALAZZINA DI VIA S. VALENTINO


1948/50 Vincenzo Monaco (1911/69) e Amedeo Luccichenti (1907/63)

Vincenzo Monaco and Amedeo Luccichenti with this building and those they designed later in Via S. Crescenziano and Via del Circo Massimo greatly influenced the style of construction for this type of homes in Rome

“After the war, some Roman professionals, more attentive to the tastes of high and middle class client, formulated, after having stripped it of any ideological content, a refined formal repertoire clearly derived from Rationalism. Vincenzo Monaco and Amedeo Luccichenti are certainly the best interpreters of this attitude. After their successful debut with the now destroyed Villa Petacci on Via Camilluccia, they devoted themselves mainly to private residential construction and worked in particular on the theme of the apartment block, gradually refining the distribution patterns” (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
