Palazzo degli Esami, Rationalist palace in Trastevere, Rome, Italy.

The Palazzo degli Esami is a rationalist building at via Girolamo Induno 4 in Rome's Trastevere district, filling a whole block bounded by Viale di Trastevere, via Carlo Tavolacci and via Jacopa de' Settesoli. It has four floors above ground plus a basement, and its facade carries an inscription. Since 2013 it has been used for temporary exhibitions.

Engineer Edmondo Del Bufalo designed and built this structure in 1912 on commission from the Special Office of Civil Engineering. The construction represented a shift toward modern Italian administration that required dedicated spaces for state examinations.

The facade carries an inscription recalling the building's role as the state examination venue. Until December 2013, candidates for posts as civil servants, teachers, journalists and other professions sat their admission exams here, making the palace a fixed stop in many Italian careers.

The building is located in Trastevere and is easily accessible if you are exploring this popular neighborhood. Access to exhibitions depends on current programming, so it is wise to check in advance what events are taking place.

The sale listing for the building gave a surface of 11,833 m², of which 2,969 m² correspond to the basement and the terrace. The facade carries an inscription recalling its history, a detail easy to miss when crossing Viale di Trastevere.
