Palazzo delle Poste e Telegrafi in Alessandria, Italy, Post office palace in Piazza della Libertà, Alessandria, Italy
The building extends over four floors with a basement, featuring travertine-clad main facades and stone-like plaster on the courtyard sides.
The palace, designed by architect Franco Petrucci, opened in April 1941 during the initial phase of World War II, replacing an older postal building.
A 38-meter mosaic by artist Gino Severini adorns the facade, depicting the evolution of telecommunications through artistic representation.
The central public hall maintains its original function as a post office, with two side entrances providing access from Piazza della Libertà.
The basement contains a wartime air-raid shelter with an exit to Via Ghilini, reflecting the building's construction period requirements.
