Palazzo delle Poste a Piazza di San Silvestro, Post office in Piazza di San Silvestro, Rome, Italy

Palazzo delle Poste is a 19th-century post office in the Colonna district, on Piazza di San Silvestro, in the same block as the church of San Silvestro in Capite. Its facade, by Luigi Rosso and Giovanni Malvezzi, has bifore windows topped by six marble tondi with portraits of the Savoy royal family. It houses the Roma V.R. post office.

The building was constructed between 1877 and 1879 by Giovanni Malvezzi and Luigi Rosso, replacing the earlier San Silvestro monastery. It was part of Rome's physical transformation under the new Italian monarchy following unification.

The six marble tondi above the bifore carry the effigies of the Savoy royal family, from Vittorio Emanuele II to Tommaso, Duke of Genoa. Placed on a post office built on confiscated monastery land, they present the dynasty's 1870 capture of Rome as the building's founding act.

The building sits centrally on Piazza di San Silvestro, near shops and other well-known locations. Its position makes it easy to reach and explore while walking through the historic center.

The six marble medallions display not merely abstract symbols but specific royal faces, including Vittorio Emanuele II, Umberto I, and Queen Margherita. These personal portraits were an unusual choice for a post office and give the building its distinctive character.
