RINASCENTE PALACE ON PIAZZA FIUME

PALAZZO DELLA RINASCENTE DI PIAZZA FIUME
1957/61 Franco Albini (1905/77) and Franca Helg (1920/89)
It is the only architectural work of Franco Albini in Rome
“Even in this building, where the architectural language is enriched by the results of a more refined technological research, one can read the relationship between modernity and tradition that is a constant theme in the reflective work of Franco Albini. La Rinascente is built within the context of the city of Rome absorbing a series of suggestions of its environment and its colors, and referring to the historical tradition of the Renaissance palaces and of the nearby Aurelian Walls” (Annette Tosto)
