Palazzo Liviano, University palace in Padua, Italy
The Palazzo Liviano, designed by architect Gio Ponti, incorporates metaphysical architectural elements within its structure and houses the School of Humanities.
The palace was constructed during Carlo Anti's tenure as rector of the University of Padua from 1932 to 1943, integrating parts of the former Capitanio palace.
The building's atrium features a grand fresco by Massimo Campigli created between 1937 and 1940, depicting archaeological themes and Italian heritage.
The Museum of Archaeological and Artistic Sciences, located on the third floor, displays collections of Etruscan, Greek, and Roman artifacts for public viewing.
Underground anti-aircraft shelters remain intact beneath the palace, connecting to the Giants Room where frescoes of ancient heroes decorate the walls.
