Designed in 1938 by leading architects Vittorio Cafiero and Mario Ridolfi, the building works started in 1938, but stopped during World War II. It took over a decade to complete the initial buildings. Two of the six buildings were added in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. The buildings occupy more than 100,000 square meters over a total area of four hectares.

The registrations will open on 24 April at 18.00 hours and visitors can book their visit on www.openhouseroma.org/node/10782. Booking is mandatory.

Guided tours are provided on 11 and 12 May, from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm (last entrance is at 19.00 pm), with tours in English at 3:00 pm.
