The Casa del Balilla is a historic city building, erected in 1933 to house the local branch of the National Balilla Organization (Opera Nazionale Balilla), located less than 500 meters from the central Piazza San Magno, overlooking the Bernocchi-Dell\u2019Acqua gardens.
\nAfter hosting the ONB and later the Italian Youth of the Lictor (Giovent\u00f9 Italiana del Littorio), following the fall of Fascism, the building was used for local schools and sports associations before eventually being abandoned.
\nThe project described here aims at the architectural and functional restoration of the building, preserving its material and compositional features and reorganizing its internal spatial layout, which had been partially altered by interventions in past decades.
\nThe plan also includes the reorganization of the public space in front of the building, to fully reintegrate it into the city\u2019s urban and social fabric.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
