NICOLÒ TOMMASEO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

SCUOLA ELEMENTARE NICOLÒ TOMMASEO
Via Ostiense 139

 1927 Vincenzo Fasolo (1885/1969)

It was enlarged in 1936

Now it is one of the branches of the UNIVERSITÀ ROMA TRE (University Rome Three)

“From the point of view of style, the building (which is implemented by Fasolo at the same time of the nearby barracks of the Fire Department on Via Marmorata) offer some formal details that the architect had applied to other school buildings, such as the High School Terenzio Mamiani on Viale delle Milizie active since 1924. Stylistic modes (inspired by ‘Renaissance modernly felt') that reflect the influence on the projects of Gustavo Giovannoni, director of the district Garbatella and Fasolo’s master. Fasolo worked with Giovannoni on several occasions, making many drawings for various projects” (Enrica Torelli Landini)

RECTORATE AND FACULTY OF LAW OF THE UNIVERSITY ROMA TRE

RETTORATO E FACOLTÀ DI GIURISPRUDENZA DELL'UNIVERSITÀ ROMA TRE

Via Ostiense 161/163

1998/2000 Pino Pasquali e Alfredo Passeri on an area formerly occupied by a disused glass bottles factory in the eighties

“The university building reflects, in its form, the deep interest accrued by Pino Pasquali for the Italian architecture of the thirties, (from the weighted symmetry of the University of Rome to the futuristic accents of Guidonia, the air city), the fixed metaphysics of the Piazze d'Italia (squares of Italy) and the Mediterranean environment” (Giorgio Muratore)

“The layout of the complex, when read in plant appears as a counterpoint of abstract shapes, including squares, rectangles and circles. Quite different is the visual path around the area, also for the location of the complex at a higher level than Via Ostiense. So that the building in the foreground, with a repeated shed roof (an immediate appeal to the memory of the preexisting industrial buildings), it is almost as framed by the long horizontal structure behind, interrupted by vertical 'tower' elements in opaque glass” (Enrica Torelli Landini)

The UNIVERSITÀ ROMA TRE (University Rome Three) had 34,366 students enrolled in the academic year 2010/11

It is the third University of Rome in chronological order of foundation after La Sapienza and Tor Vergata, but the second for number of students

In 2007 the Faculty of Law of Rome Tre was ranked second by Censis among all Italian public universities and the Faculty of Architecture was ranked third
