Palazzo del Littorio : Incastonato tra lo scorrere del Pescia stream and the wide Piazza XX Settembre

Shrouded in the mystery of its origins, this imposing palace does not reveal the name of its architect, but lets history speak for itself: the engraving “Anno VI” on the facade fixes its completion in 1928, in a full rationalist climate.

Nestled between the flow of the Pescia stream and the wide Piazza XX Settembre, the building stands as a solid and isolated volume, capable of dominating the eastern side of the urban space. Its architecture is a fascinating dialogue between different eras: an audacious mix where historicist ornaments meet the first, vibrant modernist impulses. The rhythm of the elevations is punctuated by a particular broken-profile arching that embraces the windows in a "giant order", culminating in a rigorously symmetrical central avant-corps. Here, among polygonal balconies and overlapping geometries, the building exhibits all its scenographic personality.
