VIALE LIEGI APARTMENT HOUSE

PALAZZINA DI VIALE LIEGI


1920/22 Marcello Piacentini (1881/1960)

Piacentini intervened on a building already begun, with an L shape already defined and this resulted in the not so innovative distribution system of housing

“Piacentini was influenced here by the Viennese Secession, not only with regards to the elegant chiaroscuro that distinguishes the outer surface, but also and above all, for the introduction of bow windows, absolutely unusual elements for Roman architecture in those years” (Giorgio Muratore)
