Farnesina tra arte e architettura
La Farnesina, un palazzo di circa 720.000 metri cubi e sede del Ministero degli Affari Esteri, è stata definita il più grande palazzo italiano dopo la Reggia di Caserta.
Progettato negli anni '30 come imponente sede di rappresentanza del partito nazionale fascista, nel 1940 mentre il cantiere è in piena attività, il Direttorio del Partito rinuncia alla sede prestigiosa e l'edificio viene destinato ad accogliere gli uffici del Ministero degli Affari Esteri. Lo scoppio della Seconda Guerra Mondiale ferma i lavori del palazzo e solo alla fine del 1959 la nuova sede del Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale viene inaugurata. Nelle 1.300 stanze dell'edificio si insediano ben 7.000 persone, sono 6,5 km di corridoi, 7 sale di esposizione d'arte, 20 sale riunioni, 1 sala conferenze internazionali, il grande palazzo è una vera sede di rappresentanza ed è stato arricchito al suo interno con splendide opere d'arte. Dal 2000 poi, prende il via la collezione d'arte della Farnesina che, come vetrina culturale del nostro paese, ospita importanti opere d'arte contemporanea. All'interno del palazzo l'archivio Farnesina dove sono custoditi i documenti della storia della diplomazia italiana dall'unità d'Italia a oggi e una ricca biblioteca che conserva preziose e uniche pubblicazioni.
The documentary "La Farnesina between art and culture" by Maura Calefati is dedicated to the Palazzo della Farnesina, directed by Federico Cataldi with the collaboration of Vincenzo Reale, broadcast on Rai Storia for "Italy: Journey into beauty" series. Audio Italian with no English subtitles.
The Farnesina, a building of about 720,000 cubic meters and home to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been called the largest Italian building after the Royal Palace of Caserta. Designed in the 1930s as an imposing representative seat of the Fascist national party, in 1940 while the construction site is in full swing, the Party Directory renounces the prestigious venue and the building is intended to house the offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The outbreak of the Second World War stopped the work on the building and only at the end of 1959 was the new headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation inaugurated. In the 1,300 rooms of the building, 7,000 people settle, there are 6.5 km of corridors, 7 art exhibition halls, 20 meeting rooms, 1 international conference room, the large building is a real representative office and has been enriched inside with splendid works of art. Since 2000, the Farnesina's art collection has started, which, as a cultural showcase of our country, houses important contemporary works of art.
Inside the building there is the Farnesina archive where the documents of the history of Italian diplomacy from the unification of Italy to today are kept and a rich library that preserves precious and unique publications.
