Palazzo delle Poste, Naples, Monumental palace in Piazza Matteotti, Naples, Italy.
The Palazzo delle Poste stands as a massive stone structure with clean lines and geometric patterns, integrating elements from the Renaissance cloister of Monteoliveto.
During World War II, on October 7, 1943, the German forces planted timed explosives in the building, causing substantial damage and numerous civilian casualties.
The building's atrium contains a meaningful sculpture by Arturo Martini, dedicated to soldiers who lost their lives during World War II.
The palace maintains its original function as Naples' central post office while housing the Emeroteca Tucci library in its attic section.
The architectural design by Giuseppe Vaccaro represents the Rationalist movement of the 1930s, combining postal service functionality with monumental public architecture.
