Abstract

On 28 October 1935 in Rome, four new postal office buildings were inaugurated, built following the competition launched by the Minister of Communications with the aim of providing the capital with a modern and decentralized postal service. The building for the Appio district is entrusted to the young Giuseppe Samonà who develops a project in which he tries to update the traditional architectural language with frankly modern motifs. In the transition from the competition project to the construction, Samonà carries out a laborious and punctual revision work to create a "soberly monumental architecture", and very modern.
