The Casa del Fascio of Como, also called the Palazzo Terragni, is a building located in Como, northern Italy, a work of Italian rationalist architect Giuseppe Terragni. Started in 1932 and completed in 1936 under the regime of Benito Mussolini as the seat of the local branch of the National Fascist Party, a Casa del Fascio, this municipal administration building was originally constructed with a primary view of functioning as an elegant set piece for mass Fascist rallies.
Conceptualized as a classical palazzo centered on a glass atrium, it was frescoed with abstract paintings (since destroyed) by the artist Mario Radice and the original project boasted an innovative changing facade illumination.
It is cited as an exemplary manifestation of the International style of architecture. Since 1957, the building has housed the provincial headquarters of the Guardia di Finanza police force. In addition, it accommodates the small historical museum of the Guardia di Finanza 6th legion.

Places to see in ( Como - Italy )
Como is a city at the southern tip of Lake Como in northern Italy. It's known for the Gothic Como Cathedral, a scenic funicular railway and a waterfront promenade. The Museo Didattico della Seta traces the history of Como's silk industry, while the Tempio Voltiano museum is dedicated to Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. Just north are the lakeside gardens of the palatial Villa Olmo, as well as other stately villas.
At first glance, Como may seem disappointingly urban and sprawling compared with the smaller and prettier Lake Como resorts. But the town's setting - surrounded by green hills, with the end of the lake opening up as a pretty villa-rimmed basin just yards from the historic centre - is impressive and once you set foot within the square formed by the old town walls, Como's charms become more apparent. The centro storico, old town, is a typical Italian network of pavement cafes, little squares and picturesque lanes, some bustling with shops, others empty and peaceful. Como is definitely much livelier and more 'real' than the tourist-dominated villages around Lake Como.
The most important sight in town is the cathedral, the Duomo. This imposing church was built over a period of several centuries, from 1396-1740, and shows a range of influences, chiefly Renaissance and Gothic. The facade dates from the fifteenth century, while the dome was designed by Filippo Juvarra in the eighteenth century. Alongside the Duomo is the Broletto, Como's thirteenth-century striped-marble town hall.
Within the old town centre is another important church, the Basilica di San Fedele, which dates from the tenth century (though it has been rebuilt). The visitor exploring the town will come across various picturesque sights, including the imposing Porta Vittoria, a tall stone gateway defending the old town walls, narrow arcaded lanes, and tower-houses which are the legacy of the warring Middle Ages.
Como is very proud of its famous sons. Two famous Romans, writers Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, were born here and are commemorated with statues on the Duomo (their renown presumably outweighing the fact that they weren't saints or even Christians). Alessandro Volta, electricity pioneer (after whom the volt was named) is recorded with a piazza and a 'temple', the Tempio Voltiano, containing his equipment. Como is also proud of twentieth-century architect Giuseppe Terragni, who worked during the Fascist era, but died young. Various buildings designed by Terragni can be seen around Como; one of the most striking is his Casa del Fascio, now called Palazzo Terragni (pictured), just over a level crossing from the Duomo. If you are arriving by train at Como Nord Lago station, and don't have time to explore Como, you can see these two important buildings on either side of the tracks as your train is pulling in.
By the lakeside, the narrow lanes of the historic centre give way to open spaces and lake views. Piazza Cavour is a large square lined with souvenir shops and pavement cafes, facing the waterfront and close to the ferry jetties. Various rather faded hotels look over the water and remind the visitor of the grand heyday of lake tourism.
Villa Olmo is one of the grandest buildings on Como's waterfront; a grand-fronted villa dating from the end of the 18th century. Nowadays it houses exhibitions and events. The gardens of the villa are open to the public. Como's football stadium is also on the shore of the lake, and must be one of the most picturesquely-sited in Italy.
Como was an important town in the silk trade, and around the lake you'll still find shops selling high-quality Como silks. There is a museum dedicated to silk, the Museo della Seta, located just outside the centre of town. Other museums in Como include the Pinacoteca Civica, the town's art gallery, an archaeological museum and a museum of the Risorgimento. Note that museums are typically closed on Mondays and for a couple of hours in the middle of the day.
A funicular railway, opened in 1894, runs up the hill from Como to Brunate. The two shuttles depart every 15 to 30 minutes, passing each other at the halfway point. At Brunate you can admire the views, take a stroll or even walk back down to Como. The Funicolare Como website (see links panel) provides timetables and suggests some walks and outings from Brunate.

Giuseppe Terragni (1904 – 1943) was a pioneer of modern Italian Architecture and is recognised as a revolutionary figure in architectural design.
He conceived some of Italy’s most significant 20th century buildings, with his designs forming the nucleus of the Italian Rationalist school of architecture.
Much of his work combines a paradoxical combination of the avant garde and the traditional, highlighting a balancing act between Terragni’s own penchant for modernism and the pressure to prioritise the traditional, amidst neo-classical and neo-baroque revivalism under Italy’s fascist government.
In this special presentation Giuseppe Terragni’s grand-nephew Attilio Terragni will explore Terragni’s continued influence on modern architecture and the Terragni family legacy.
