Palazzo ex G.I.L., Rationalist palazzo in Forlì, Italy.

The Palazzo ex G.I.L. features three main sections including a cinema-theater, gymnasium, and former swimming pool, connected by a 30-meter central tower.

Architect Cesare Valle designed this building in 1933 as part of the Opera Nazionale Balilla program to establish youth education and sports centers throughout Italy.

The building represents Italian rationalist architecture of the 1930s and currently houses the Bruno Grandi Gymnastics Museum, documenting the evolution of this sport.

Located on Viale della Libertà, the palazzo maintains modern sports facilities, an auditorium space, and dedicated areas for cultural exhibitions and events.

The central tower retains traces of historical inscriptions that were partially removed in the 1940s, preserved as documentary evidence rather than being restored.
