INA PALACE ON VIA SALLUSTIANA

PALAZZO DELL'INA IN VIA SALLUSTIANA
1923/27 Ugo Giovannozzi (1876/1957) who was also the architect of the Terme Tettuccio in Montecatini
The style of the building is defined liberty with a strong influence of the sixteenth hundreds and it was built to be the headquarters of INA ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DELLE ASSICURAZIONI (National Insurance Institute)
In 2003 it was bought by the government of the United States of America for about $ 80 million to expand the offices of the nearby embassy which is the largest in Rome
The entire Via Friuli between the two buildings has therefore become an American private road for security reasons
