Colonia di Monte Maggio, Summer camp in Savignone, Italy.
The Colonia di Monte Maggio spans 4,355 square meters and features three sections with sloped roofs at an elevation of 803 meters in a chestnut forest.
Built between 1933 and 1934 by engineer Camillo Nardi Greco, the facility opened in 1938 with a capacity to accommodate 450 female children.
The architectural design follows rationalist principles, incorporating innovative construction methods and health-focused criteria to enhance children's well-being during their stay.
The complex connects to provincial road SP 10 through a one-kilometer access road and includes paths leading to Mount Maggio for paragliding activities.
During World War II, the summer camp provided shelter for children of repatriated Libyan colonists until the conflict ended.
