The building complex object of the recovery project was built in 1913 and consists of two buildings, subject to monumental restrictions and intended to accommodate new housing units and a space dedicated to the “place of memory” with the aim of a general restoration. and renovation.
The palace, formerly the seat of the Austro-Hungarian, Italian and German gendarmerie, was from December 1944 to April 1945 the seat of the Special Inspectorate of Public Security of Venezia Giulia which was responsible for numerous crimes and particular violence. The intervention therefore had to reconcile a new intended use for residential purposes with the presence of the monument and its preservation as a place of memory.
The complex consists of two buildings separated by an internal courtyard, the building n°6, overlooking via Cologna, and the building n°8 reachable through the entrance of n°6. The building n°8 is also equipped with a small courtyard at the back.
The two buildings are developed for three and four floors above ground and were built with vertical bearing structures in stone and solid bricks while the floors are in wood and the roof is pitched with a traditional red tile roof. For both buildings, the internal connection system is respected, the vertical paths of the stairwells and the horizontal paths of the corridors perform the function of distribution reference and are adapted to contemporary standards with the inclusion of a lift in both buildings.
The facade on via Cologna of the building n°6 is characterized by a high plinth in artificial stone while the ground floor is treated with characteristic parallel horizontal bands in plaster, the two upper floors are also finished with smooth plaster. The façade is marked by two rows of windows placed at regular intervals. Each window has a molded frame in artificial stone and is protected at the top by a linear slope which is also molded. The door, made of artificial stone, is framed by two flat pilasters on which a false architrave rests, above which two Corinthian-style corbels support a pediment with a curvilinear profile.
The facade on the internal courtyard of the building at n° 8. it is characterized by the presence of some new balconies and is treated with plaster, like the facade on the internal courtyard of building N°6.
