Casa del Balilla, Italian national heritage building in Legnano, Italy.

The Casa del Balilla exhibits rationalist architecture with exposed bricks, polished serizzo stone, marble elements, and large windows across two floors.

Engineer Giuseppe Moro and architect Giorgio Laneve designed this structure, which opened in December 1933 under National Balilla Opera President Renato Ricci.

Located on Via Milano in Legnano, the structure stands at coordinates 45°35'37.02"N, 8°55'22.58"E, accessible from the town center.

Two expansive terraces on the upper level were specifically constructed for heliotherapy treatments, reflecting health practices of the 1930s.
