Via Lusitania 18 - Porta Latina
1932 Ignazio Guidi (1904/78)
Originally called Scuola Guglielmotti
The plan of the building is symmetrical even if the entrance is on one corner
“The two elementary schools, Guglielmotti at Porta Latina and Garroni in Ostia, are undoubtedly the first who reported Guidi’s works to the attention of the scholars of the time. Highly innovative for the floor plans and for the materials used and characterized by large windows, these two schools express with confidence and skill the strong adhesion of Guidi to European Rationalism, practically non-existent in Rome at that time” (Filippo Spaini - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani Treccani)
