Palazzo dell'Agricoltura, Government palace in Via XX Settembre, Rome, Italy.

The Palazzo dell'Agricoltura is the seat of Italy's Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry, on Via XX Settembre in Rome's Sallustiano district. Built between 1908 and 1914 in an eclectic style, it carries a frieze with three Latin inscriptions on its facade. Its interior frescoes, stained glass and wrought-iron works all refer to the agricultural and rural world.

The Ministry of Agriculture commissioned construction between 1908 and 1914 to create a center for farm policy in Italy at this location. The building rose during a period when modernizing Italian agriculture was a key national goal.

The National Agricultural Historical Library inside preserves documents about Italian farming heritage and shows how central this work was to the nation's growth. Visitors today can see the special collections that connect the country's story to its land.

The building sits in a central location and can be reached from two metro stations, making it simple for visitors to arrive. Those wanting to see the interior should plan for guided tours, which can be organized for groups.

The building also houses the National Agricultural Historical Library, founded in 1848, the year the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of the Kingdom of Sardinia was created. Its collections predate the palace itself by six decades.
