Palazzo della Giustizia, Courthouse building in Bolzano, Italy.
Description
Palazzo della Giustizia is a courthouse in Bolzano defined by clean lines and functional design typical of Rationalist architecture. The building organizes judicial spaces with straightforward layouts and unornamented surfaces that prioritize practicality.
History
The building was designed by Paolo Rossi De Paoli and Michele Busiri Vici and completed in 1939, though its official opening took place in 1956. The extended gap between completion and inauguration reflects significant changes in the region's history.
Culture
The building carries both Italian and German names, reflecting the bilingual character of the South Tyrol region where both languages coexist in daily life.

The building was designed under fascism but opened only after World War II under entirely different political conditions. This historical rupture shapes how the structure has been understood and used since then.
