Scuola Fratelli Garrone
Historic site · Ostia Lido, Italy
A school building of 1934 to 1935 on corso Duca di Genova, laid out in three ranges for three streams of teaching: 24 elementary classrooms, ten rooms for the ginnasio and ten for vocational teaching. The elementary block has a large refectory and three special-subject rooms; the gymnasium has changing rooms, showers and its own entrance; the first-aid post also has an independent entrance so that it could be used outside school hours and on days when the school was shut. It is a working primary school, a secondary site of the Istituto Comprensivo Via Giuliano da Sangallo, and no public access is published for it; it is a building to look at from the street.
History
The Governatorato di Roma commissioned the school from Ignazio Guidi in 1934; it was built in 1934 and 1935 and opened in 1935, dedicated to the brothers Giuseppe and Eugenio Garrone, both of whom held the gold medal for military valour. Guidi designed it so that the partitions could later be moved and the building converted to a single kind of teaching. It was described in Capitolium. Rassegna mensile del Governatorato, anno X n. 8, 1934, under the title Una nuova scuola al Lido di Roma.
