Rationalist building located in Como, nowadays seat of the Guardia di Finanza provincial command
The Casa del Fascio of Como, also called Palazzo Terragni, is a building located in Como, Italy, in the Piazza del Popolo, considered one of the masterpieces of Italian Modern Architecture. It was designed by the Italian architect Giuseppe Terragni (1904–1943) and was inaugurated in 1936 as the local casa del fascio, that is, an office of the National Fascist Party. After the fall of Fascism in 1945, it was used by the National Liberation Committee Parties and in 1957, it became the headquarters of the local Finance Police, who still occupy it. The building has a square plan and four stories.
