Palazzo delle Poste

The Palazzo delle Poste, built to the design of Angiolo Mazzoni, was inaugurated at the end of 1932.

This imposing and monumental building consists of three bodies incorporated in the town clock tower, which constitutes its visual core.

Some strong ashlar pilasters delimit the portico, at the back of which is the monument to the post and telegraph fallen depicting the "three victories", realized by Domenico Ponzi to the design of the architect himself.

On the ground floor is the monumental mosaic of St. Christopher by Matilde Festa Piacentini and in the space devoted to the automated teller machine is the mosaic by Pericle Gentili depicting Saints Hilary and Tatian, the protectors of the city of Gorizia.

On the first floor, in the director's antechamber, is the fresco "Danae fecundated by Jupiter" made to the design of painter Edoardo Del Neri and characterized by the combination of typical twentieth-century elements having exotic and imaginary features.

Inside the tower the stairwell is decorated with Guido Cadorin's painting cycle entitled "Wars cause victims".

Finally, inside the structure one can admire the famous work by Guglielmo Sansoni - called Tato - entitled "Running train" (1933).
