Via Cernaia 14b
1889/98 Pio Piacentini (1846/1928) in eclectic style
It was built in the area of the Campus Sceleratus where the vestal virgins who broke the vow of chastity were buried alive
“Here the term 'eclectic' is revealed in its most complete meaning, with the use by the designer of elements of ancient Roman, Byzantine and Medieval styles, freely assembled with the result, especially outside of a somewhat hybrid product. But it is precisely this formal indeterminacy that instead of placing the building out of time, it places it exactly at the precise historical moment of which it is the expression” (Massimo Alemanno)
