PALACE OF IMI AND OF THE ITALIAN EXCHANGE INSTITUTE

PALAZZO DELL'IMI E DELL'ISTITUTO ITALIANO CAMBI
1953/56 Mario Paniconi (1904/73) and Giulio Pediconi (1906/99) in collaboration with the Studio Passarelli
The IMI was the ISTITUTO MOBILIARE ITALIANO (Italian Chattels Institute) founded in 1931
In 1998 it merged with the ISTITUTO SAN PAOLO and became SANPAOLO IMI
“One of the first major competitions in Rome after the war. The project has two aspects. The front on Via Quattro Fontane, between S. Carlino by Borromini and an austere convent building, conveys the relationship between past, existing buildings, the environment, with topical thoughtful novelties” (Official Website Studio Passarelli - www.studiopassarelli.it)
