Palazzo dei Telefoni, Palace in Naples' historic center, Italy.

Palazzo dei Telefoni stands on via Agostino Depretis, near the Borsa palace, in Naples. Camillo Guerra built it between 1923 and 1925 in a neo-baroque style, as the third of the city's telephone palaces after Piazza Nolana and via Crispi. Its exterior was rebuilt in a functionalist manner in 1945-1946, but the rear facade on via dei Griffi keeps the original neo-baroque look.

Camillo Guerra, a civil engineering engineer, was commissioned in 1922 to build this third telephone palace in Naples, constructed between 1923 and 1925 in a neo-baroque style. Partly destroyed in the Allied bombing of 4 August 1943, it was redesigned by Guerra in 1944 with a functionalist exterior and rebuilt between 1945 and 1946. The rear facade on via dei Griffi retains the original neo-baroque appearance.

The building belongs to a trio of telephone palaces built in Naples in the 1920s, with those on Piazza Nolana and Via Crispi. Its name comes from its function as the state telephone exchange. The rear facade on Via dei Griffi keeps the original neo-baroque look, while the rebuilt front shows the functionalist style of the 1945-46 reconstruction.

The palace stands on Via Agostino Depretis, a short walk from the Borsa building designed by Camillo Guerra's father Alfonso. The rebuilt front on Via Depretis shows the functionalist 1945-46 work; walk around to Via dei Griffi, where the rear facade keeps the original neo-baroque look spared by the 1943 bombing.

The rear facade on Via dei Griffi still shows the original neo-baroque design, since it escaped the 4 August 1943 Allied bombing that partly destroyed the building. The 1944 reconstruction by Camillo Guerra, carried out in 1945-1946, gave the front a functionalist look while this side kept its earlier form.
