De Blasio Palace

The palace features a C-shaped layout with two floors, three grand iron and glass doors at ground level, and symmetrically arranged openings across the facade.

De Blasio Palace emerged as the first public building constructed after the 1908 earthquake, with construction completed in 1911 under engineer Domenico Genoese Zerbi.

The building originally housed the Female Normal School, which later transformed into the Tommaso Gulli State High School, serving educational purposes.

Visitors can access the elevated entrance through two staircases with iron balustrades, leading to a structure that overlooks Corso Vittorio Emanuele III.

The palace incorporates decorative friezes along its cornice, with detailed lesenes featuring ornamental patterns that extend across the entire length of the structure.
