1972/75 Giuseppe Perugini (1914) architect born in Buenos Aires in who moved to Italy in the early 1930s. It was designed together with Alberto Tonelli (1923)

"The architecture of Giuseppe Perugini was characterized by the respect to the formal rigor of classical nature and size combined with a rationalist matrix, which are constantly repeated throughout his production. He introduced innovations in the design of steel structures housing. As further demonstration of his desire to experiment, he was among the first scholars to propose, in the 1960s, the use of computers as organizing tools of modular elements" (Maria Letizia Mancuso)
