Papanice House, Postmodern residential building in Nomentano district, Rome, Italy.
Papanice House is a postmodern residential building in Rome's Nomentano district, distinguished by curved lines and geometric patterns on its white facade. Multiple levels create a dynamic visual composition that stands out along the street.
The building was completed in 1968, designed by architect Paolo Portoghesi and engineer Vittorio Gigliotti. It emerged during a period when postmodern design began challenging Rome's traditional architectural conventions.
The residence became a filming location for several Italian movies, with directors drawn to its distinctive design for productions seeking a modern visual setting. The building's striking appearance made it a natural choice for productions like these, where architecture played a role in the story's aesthetic.
The building is located on Via Giuseppe Marchi in the Nomentano district and currently houses the Embassy of the Kingdom of Jordan. It can be viewed from the street to appreciate its distinctive postmodern design.
The building influenced the design of other Roman structures, including the Carini Building at the American University of Rome. This impact demonstrates how its innovative postmodern approach shaped subsequent architectural work in the city.
