Palazzo dell'Aeronautica, Rationalist architecture building on Lungomare Nazario Sauro, Bari, Italy.

The Palazzo dell'Aeronautica is the Italian Air Force Command building on Lungomare Nazario Sauro in Bari, recognizable by its tall tower and facade of light stone combined with darker tuff material. Large cylindrical columns support the structure across multiple floors, creating its distinctive form and architectural presence.

Built in the first half of the 1930s to a design by Saverio Dioguardi, the palace housed the command of the IV Zona Aerea Territoriale, established in 1935 under General Vincenzo Lombard, who took office on 1 July 1935. In 1940 it also hosted the IV Squadra Aerea, operating over the Balkans, Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. From 1943 it was the seat of the 15th Army Air Force, and from 2 December 1943 of the Italian air unit formed at Brindisi. In the 1950s the command returned as the 3ª Regione Aerea, joined on 1 January 2008 by the Comando Scuole AM.

The building's name comes from the Aeronautica Militare, which has used it since the 1930s; the 3rd Aerial Region command and, from 1 January 2008, the AM Schools Command are based here. Visitors see a military headquarters on the Lungomare Nazario Sauro, not a museum, so the facade and tower are viewed from the seafront.

The building stands at Lungomare Nazario Sauro 35–39, facing the sea; the full composition of tower and portal reads best from the water side or from the opposite stretch of the promenade. It is an active Italian Air Force headquarters, so only the exterior can be visited.

The foundation plan uses reinforced-concrete rods and curbs, suggesting horizontal reinforcement bands in walls of interwoven tuff rather than pillars; the masonry is still 50–60 cm thick at the top floor. The tower's verticality is stressed by a longitudinal groove and by the pairing of Trani stone with mazaro tuff.
