1959/62 Giuseppe Vaccaro (1896/1970) designed the SOUTHERN
AREA and Luigi Vagnetti (1915/80) the NORTH WEST
AREA
It is
situated between the Via Tiburtina and the Aniene River and it is inhabited by
about 3000 people in 562 apartments
“It is
distinguished by the peculiarity of the typological and architectural solutions
adopted and the richness of the internal distribution of individual blocks. It
constitutes a reference model for settlements with low population density”
(Giorgio Muratore)
“He
worked often in official commissions, and participated in the monumentality of
the time by searching sometimes a futuristic interpretation, with elements in
the language of Rationalism (Rome, Ministry of Corporations, today of Industry,
Via Veneto, 1928/31, with Marcello Piacentini, Naples, Palazzo delle Poste,
1929/35, with Gino Franzi). His executive accuracy and the use of rationalist
terms within a symmetrical architectural system (...) had considerable
influence on Italian architecture” (Enciclopedia Treccani)
