The Palazzo dell'Aeronautica is a building in Rome, Italy, and is the headquarters of the Italian Air Force.
History
Italo Balbo, who was Chief of Staff of the time, turned to Roberto Marino, a 28-year-old architect. The building was completed in two years and is considered the first in Italy to be built entirely of reinforced concrete, consisting of 40-metre (43.74 yds) stone columns resting on foundations of 21 metres (22.97 yds).[1] The work began on 2 August 1929 and was officially inaugurated on 28 October 1931 as headquarters of the Royal Air Force with the 9th Anniversary of the March on Rome.
