History
The Società Immobiliare Tirrena per Azioni was incorporated on 23 August 1928, according to a company information database. The company is listed as active and is based at Via Francesco Crispi, 90, in Rome. A separate business report gives the company’s VAT number as 00964961007 and describes it as specialising in the rental and management of its own or leased real estate.
The contributor’s notes, sent to the editorial staff in 2026, attribute the building to the Società Immobiliare Tirrena and date it to 1932, naming Arch. Alfredo Ernegici and Ing. M. Monaco. The message itself notes that the architect’s surname may be a typo. No published document found confirms these names or this date for the Piazzale Magellano block.
What you see
The photograph shows a three-storey, cream-coloured rendered building. Its most distinctive feature is a curved corner bay, which carries two stacked loggia openings with balustrades on the upper floors. The street-facing façade is partly hidden by a white boundary wall covered in graffiti; the graffiti is largely illegible, but a signature-like tag appears near the centre of the wall.
