“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)

Piazza Lodi 10

 1928/30 Vincenzo Fasolo (1885/1969)

“Vincenzo Fasolo had as teachers (...) G.B. Milani and G. Giovannoni, with whom he later collaborated, and from whom he learned (...) a visionary way of design, romantically inventive, based on traditional stylistic materials, emphasized by his spectacular and graphical skills. (...) He followed the cultural design of Giovannoni, sharing (...) with him the technique of 'thinning' rather than the 'gutting' of the buildings, as well as a taste for the local environment and for Roman traditions in a romantic way, of free and syncretic revisiting” (Antonino Terranova - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani Treccani)

 1932 Vincenzo Fasolo (1885/1969)

“He started his career as an architect in the beginning of the first decade of the twentieth century, when the Roman architectural scene, away from the radical innovations proposed by the historical avant-garde and characterized by professional classicism as well as stately monumentality, tried some updating in a 'romantic' reinterpretation of traditional styling: in terms of vitality, spontaneity, individuality in the imitation of academic models, or in terms of a wider range of models even to include the homely style of 'minor architectures' or the glorification of ‘ruinism’ and anything picturesque” (Antonino Terranova - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani Treccani)

Alberto Cadlolo was a second lieutenant of infantry who died heroically in 1918 during the First World War. In the entrance hall of the school there is his bust
