Sabaudia is one of the most established with considerable propagandistic effort fascist ideal cities in the then reclaimed Pontine Marshes south of Rome. As only one of these cities Sabaudia is to experience to this day almost unchanged in its original design intent, which alternates between massive classicism and modernity.
A quartet of young architects ( Gino Cancelotti, Eugenio Montuori, Luigi Piccinato, Alfredo Scalpelli ) has 1932-1934 not only designed the urban plan, but also the most public buildings such as town hall, church, Casa del Fascio, Hotel, but also water tower and bus implemented. The post office Angiolo Mazzoni is one of the most unusual buildings in the Italian war Modernism.
