Palazzo dell'ex GIL, Rationalist palace in Campobasso, Italy.
Palazzo dell'ex GIL is a palace displaying pure geometric shapes with large windows framed on the main facade. The structure follows a C-shaped floor plan and contains two stories with distinct functional areas for exhibitions, screenings, and administrative use.
The building was constructed between 1936 and 1938 by architect Domenico Filippone and originally housed the Italian Youth Organization of the Littorio during the Fascist period. Its rationalist design represented the architectural vision of that era.
The building houses multiple exhibition spaces and a hall displaying works from artists including Picasso and de Chirico. Today it serves as a cultural venue where art exhibitions and events take place regularly.
The building now operates as a cultural center with exhibition areas, training facilities, and offices distributed across both levels. Visitors can explore the exhibitions and attend occasional screenings in the auditorium.
The building features original frescoes by Giuseppe Piccolo decorating the theater and gymnasium wings of the complex. These artistic details remain an important visual element for those walking through the space.
