History
The building has been used as the seat of the Banca d’Italia’s Trento branch since 1955, according to the bank’s own event listing. That source describes the building as having a square plan, two floors arranged around a rectangular courtyard, and a location in the city centre between Piazza Erbe and Piazza Vittoria. The Bank of Italy’s official page gives the street address as Piazza Alessandro Vittoria, 6, and names Gennaro Sansone as the person responsible for the branch. The branch employs 38 staff members.
What you see
The photograph shows a large cream-coloured corner building with barred windows on the ground and upper floors. A stone portal marks the entrance, and the building stands at a paved street corner. In front of it are a bare tree, waste bins and a small fountain. The contributor’s notes identify the subject as the Banca d’Italia, though the inscription is inferred from the message rather than clearly read in the photograph itself.
