1924/28 Giulio Magni (1859/1930)
grandson of Giuseppe Valadier
"An
extreme example of an architectural practice with no outbursts, achieving a
sort of unmannerist solemnity, where the façade tops the monumental access staircase
with a large windowed arch, reminiscent of windows of ancient Roman baths, a
theme which appears to be one a favorite one among the projects for the Lido of
Rome at the beginning of the century" (Giuseppe Strappa)

Ufficio Postale
Post Office
1934 Angiolo
Mazzoni Del Grande (1894/1979)
"Some
of his buildings, in particular the Colonia Marina (Seaside Holiday Camp) in Tirrenia
and the Post Office in Latina were hailed as the first executed examples of
futuristic architecture, but perhaps his best works are the Post Offices of
Sabaudia and Abetone. Of some interest it is also the first project for the new
Termini Station which later Mazzoni was forced to entirely revise as more
academic and monumental. The Post Office of Ostia is a building, perhaps not
completely finalized, in which the main idea is represented by the round crown
of the large cantilever roof, a recurring theme in the architecture of Mazzoni,
which in this case is also a typological innovation" (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
Villini per la Società Tirrena
Small Villas for the Tirrena Company
1932/34 Adalberto
Libera (1903/63)
They were built
following a competition in 1932 to design fifteen villas in Ostia. The
execution of the projects, however, were not determined by the results of the
competition
TYPE A
Three floors
for six apartments
TYPE
B
Three floors
for six apartments
TYPE C
Five floors
for ten apatments
"They all
bear witness to the particular research Libera developed in those years on some
specific compositional themes: the architectural definition of the covering
(see the solutions of the top floors and in particular the one of Type C), the rounding
of the corner surfaces (again Type C and especially the large balconies of Type
A), the presence of highly dynamic details (the lugs of the balconies on the
side of the Villas B and C). The tallest houses (Type C) appear on the whole
the most significant also for the essential distribution of rooms and for the
uncomplicated construction" (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
