Il Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, Cité EUR, Rome, Italy

Ernesto Bruno La Padula
Italian, 1902–1968
Giovanni Guerrini
Italian, 1887–1972
Mario Romano
Italian
1938
A graphite-on-tracing-paper architectural drawing of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, made to study and communicate the building’s rigorous geometric proportions and monumental, colonnaded façade for the EUR development in Rome.
The sheet captures the 1930s Italian fusion of modernist rationalism with classical form—its austere repetition and clarity helped codify a monumental architectural language that signaled state power and influenced later twentieth‑century public and institutional architecture.
