The Palace on Piazza Adriana was commissioned by Carlo Delcroix, President of the National Association of the Mutilated and Invalids of War (ANMIG) and was built by Ulisse Igliori, based on a design by the architect Marcello Piacentini, in two stages. The first nucleus overlooking Piazza Adriana was built between 1925 and 1928, while the body towards the Tiber was added in 1935-36.
The building has the appearance of a fortress which assimilates it and connects it to the two imposing structures between which it has been harmoniously inserted, namely Castel Sant'Angelo on one side and the Palace of Justice on the other. The House, entirely made of tuff and travertine, makes use of stylized classical motifs, such as the large arched windows framed by the Doric order, with Latin mottos on the architraves, inserted in a general design inspired by military architecture.
The building today is partly home to judicial offices, such as the Offices of the General Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Appeal of Rome and the Supervisory Court of Rome.
