History

The building was designed by architects Ernesto and Gaetano Rapisardi.^[1][2][3] Construction began in 1938, but was halted shortly after due to World War II. Work resumed after the war, in the early 1950s, and was completed in 1957.^[1] Over the years, the building has been enriched with works of art by various artists, such as Luigi Venturini and Vincenzo Gennaro.^[4]

In 2004, a second architectural complex, designed by architect Sebastiano Monaco, was built next to the main building.^[5][6]
