Palazzo Italia _ Rome _ Italy

A new face for a living history.
"Palazzo Italia is a refined building, rich in history and prestige, which recently underwent a major enhancement plan. Located in the XII Municipality, right at the core of the monumental EUR district, Palazzo Italia was built in 1960 as the exposed portion overlooking pi azza Marconi of the “Complesso Italia” complex, designed by architect Luigi Mattioni (1914-1961). Si nce then, people have been linking Palazzo Italia to its façade: it did happ en with the original design, with the alternating metallic pi lasters interacting with the reflecting aluminum panels, and it still happ ens today with the new renovation and requalification project, as app roved by the superintendence authority.

The new plan restores the hierarchy of the façade components by replacing the whole outside casing. Such operation fulfills a triple purpose: to renew the building’s app earance, to ensure efficient energy savings and to allow a better control over the brightness of the inside spaces.

The whole building is composed of a ground floor, a mezzanine floor, eighteen floors above ground and two underground floors. From the monumental steps echoing Piazza Marconi’s wide grandeur you access the retail areas and the eminent entrance hall, the latter introducing the building’s vertical motion. Palazzo Italia is divided into office areas that are very bright and highly efficient and allow for a nonpareil view.

· Energy class A project

· Palazzo Italia is designed to get the Gold level LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the Green Building Council."
