Palazzo delle Casse di Risparmio Postali

Palazzo delle Casse di Risparmio Postali, Intelligence agencies headquarters in Esquilino district, Rome, Italy.

Palazzo delle Casse di Risparmio Postali is an administrative building in Rome's Esquilino district, structured across multiple levels with an internal layout centered around a core atrium. The structure features a quadrangular footprint decorated with sculptural friezes along its facade.

Designed by Luigi Rolland, the building was begun in 1911 under engineer Amerigo Pullini and inaugurated in 1912 by Undersecretary of Posts Augusto Battaglieri as the central office of the Postal Savings Banks. It was enlarged after World War I and later used by Poste Italiane. In 2008 it was designated as the seat of Italy's intelligence services, renovated from 2012, and in February 2021 renamed Palazzo Dante on the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri's death.

The building's name changed in February 2021, when Italy's intelligence services dedicated their headquarters to Dante Alighieri on the 700th anniversary of his death, since it faces Piazza Dante. The sculpted frieze along the roofline carries coats of arms and allegories referring to the Savoy state.

The building faces Piazza Dante in the Esquilino district, and its two entrances are reached by a staircase flanked by columns. Since 2019 it has housed the headquarters of Italy's intelligence services, so the interior is closed to the public; the facade, the roofline crest and the "CASSE DI RISPARMIO POSTALI" inscription can be seen from the square.

The building holds a "Parete della Memoria" naming six Italian intelligence members who died since World War II: Vincenzo Li Causi, Nicola Calipari, Lorenzo D'Auria, Pietro Antonio Colazzo, Tiziana Barnobi and Claudio Alonzi. The wall is inside a site that has housed the DIS, AISI and AISE leadership since May 2019.
