Palazzo FAO, United Nations headquarters in San Saba district, Rome, Italy.
The Palazzo FAO stretches along Viale Aventino and Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, near the ancient Baths of Caracalla and Circus Maximus monuments.
Architects Vittorio Cafiero and Mario Ridolfi designed the building in 1938 for the Ministry of Italian Africa, which was later completed in 1952 as FAO headquarters.
The Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters coordinates global initiatives addressing food security, agricultural development, and international cooperation among member nations.
The building maintains restricted access protocols, requiring visitors to obtain authorization and follow security procedures before entering the premises.
The Italian government leases this building to the United Nations organization for a symbolic rate of one United States dollar per year.
