Palazzina Via Roma

The Palazzina in Via Roma was built at the end of the nineteenth century, by private commission of a renowned Pisan physician. 

The three-storey building has a square plan and is situated in a key area of the city: at the start of Via Roma, it constitutes a backdrop to the crossroads well visible from the Solferino Bridge and the Pisan embankment of the Arno, on one of the main thoroughfares leading to Piazza del Duomo.

In the nineteen fifties, the building housed the Ente Maremma, subsequently renamed the Ente di Sviluppo in Toscana e Lazio (the Tuscany and Lazio Development Agency), within which the so-called Riforma Fondiaria was created for the management of the agency's properties. When the Riforma Fondiaria was dissolved in 2000, the building became the headquarters of the Azienda Regionale per lo Sviluppo e l’Innovazione Agricola, della Regione Toscana (the Tuscany Regional Agency for Agricultural Development and Innovation), which recently granted it to the Scuola Normale Superiore. Its spaces are currently used by the research groups of the Faculty of Sciences.
