NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE GARDEN CITY ANIENE

QUARTIERE CITTÀ GIARDINO ANIENE
1920 Gustavo Giovannoni (1873/1947), Quadrio Pirani (1878/1970) and Edmondo Del Bufalo (1883/1968)
It is connected with Via Nomentana through the TAZIO BRIDGE 1927 by Gustavo Giovannoni over the Aniene River. It was restored and partially reconstructed in the years 1938/39
“Particular attention was devoted to the design of the roads layouts, rich in curvilinear patterns with a configuration adhering to the altitude of the terrain and capable of proposing an environmental quality with a suburban character” (Piero Ostilio Rossi)
PIAZZA SEMPIONE
1920/27 by Gustavo Giovannoni and Innocenzo Sabbatini (1891/1984)
CHIESA DEI Ss. ANGELI CUSTODI (Church of Saints Guardian Angels)
1922/24 by Gustavo Giovannoni
“At the center of a web of roads, inspired by models of the English garden suburb, Giovannoni designed in 1922 Church of the Guardian Angels in a traditional style. In plan and elevation, the building reproduced Baroque models with elongated plan. Again here it is shown the duality between the engineer, able to grapple with the most up to date techniques, and the student of Roman history tied to stylistic references of local inspiration” (G. Zucconi - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani Treccani)
PALAZZO PUBBLICO
1921/25 by Innocenzo Sabbatini
CASA DELLA GIOVENTÚ A MONTE SACRO (House of Youth on the Sacred Mountain)
1934/43 by Gaetano Minnucci (1896/1980)
