Palazzo Silone, Regional government palace in L'Aquila, Italy

Palazzo Silone is a modern regional government building in L'Aquila composed of three connected blocks along Via Leonardo da Vinci. Its facade alternates curved glass sections with brick striping across eight stories.

Built between 1990 and 1998 by architects Massimo Buccella and Pierluigi Properzi, it became the headquarters of the Abruzzo regional council immediately after completion. The structure was designed as part of the region's administrative modernization.

The Benedetto Croce Regional Library, on the first basement level, specialises in law, technical subjects and the history and culture of Abruzzo. It has a reading room with multimedia stations and a lending office, organises exhibitions and conferences, and publishes journals; public access requires prior accreditation.

Located near Pettino district and accessible via main highways, the building offers parking on its north and east sides. Internal elevator systems help visitors navigate the eight floors comfortably.

The building survived the devastating 2009 earthquake without damage, proving its solid construction despite the disaster around it. Afterward, it became the office of the regional president when other government buildings became unusable.
