Palazzo Esercito
Historic site · Castro Pretorio, Italy
The 19th-century palace on Via XX Settembre built for the Kingdom's Ministry of War, and since 2017 also the seat of the Defence General Staff.
History
Italian Wikipedia's article on the rione describes Palazzo Esercito as a 19th-century building, dated 1876-85, from a project by Bernardini and Garavaglia, built for the Kingdom of Italy's Ministry of War and the Army General Staff, and records that it has been the seat of the Stato Maggiore della Difesa since 22 February 2017. Italian Wikipedia's separate article on the building gives different dates, so only the century, the architects' surnames and the 2017 fact are carried here. No coordinate is published: Turismo Roma gives the same point for this palace and for the Methodist church on the same street, so at most one of the two is right. Palazzo Caprara and Palazzo Baracchini are in the rione of Trevi and are not covered in this guide.
