1688. Sabaudia. Casa del Balilla
















Dear Florestano,

"Frezzotti's one story Balilla building is perhaps the most
interesting building in Sabaudia, in spite of the later downgrading of his reputation. It is kept in a sober size, but nevertheless monumental in style. Its clean geometrical shapes are articulated in an ochre yellow brick, with travertine details and generous amount of glass"
(Hanne Storm Ofteland,  Sabaudia 1934, Materializing the Fascist Corporate Town, 2002)

Sincerely,
R
