Ex sede dell'Istituto Nazionale Luce

The complex spans 40,000 square meters and contains separate sections for film synchronization, laboratories, administrative offices, and film reel storage.

Construction began in 1937 when Benito Mussolini laid the cornerstone of this cinema complex designed by architects Andrea Busiri Vici and Rodolfo Rustichelli.

The building served as headquarters for Istituto Nazionale Luce, which produced newsreels, documentaries, and feature films as Italy's primary cinematic institution.

The structure now houses municipal offices of Rome's Seventh District and includes facilities such as a senior center and educational spaces for children.

The building incorporates an axis of symmetry with interconnected paths between different areas, reflecting both functional requirements and architectural aesthetics.
