The imposing building, designed by the architect Cesare Valle (1902-2000), is a fine example of rationalist architecture. Designed to house up to four hundred students of the Aeronautical College, it is divided into two blocks: a block on Via Roma, originally intended for residential use, and a block on Piazzale della Vittoria, dedicated to educational and sports activities. From the end of the Second World War to the present day, the complex has housed educational institutions. The front of the building, facing Piazzale della Vittoria, is dominated by the imposing statue of Icarus, in white Carrara marble, by Francesco Saverio Palozzi.
It is currently used for school and university activities.
How to get there:
The complex is located at the beginning of Piazzale della Vittoria, at the corner of Viale Roma and Viale della Libertà. On foot: from the station, walk along Viale della Libertà until you reach Piazzale della Vittoria. From Piazza Saffi walk along Corso della Repubblica to Piazzale della Vittoria.
