NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE GARDEN CITY ANIENE

QUARTIERE CITTÀ GIARDINO ANIENE

Viale Tirreno/Viale Adriatico

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)

PALAZZO DEGLI ESAMI

Via Induno 4

1912 Edmondo Del Bufalo (1883/1968)

Art Nouveau style building intended for exams for government executives

In 2002 began the renovation that lasted about three years but have not finished. The scaffolding remained until 2012, but there is mystery about the intended use

Maybe it will eventually be the headquarters of the Italian secret services formerly SISDE and, since 2007, AISI

The aura of secrecy that has surrounded this building for ten years has fueled controversy on the waste of public money and the evident inefficiency and alleged criminal activities of those who manage the public administration in Italy
