Piazza Barriera Garibaldi
The original blocks of public housing around Piazza della Barriera Garibaldi were built in the late Twenties of the last century on a project of the architect Ghino Venturi.
Heavily damaged by the war, these buildings were rebuilt following the same design to speed up the reconstruction effort. Only recently some have been fitted with external lifts.

I would imagine those lifts are most welcome additions.
handsome buildings
Yep, an elevator sure help when you live on that top floor.
Pretty amazing to be public housing. I'll take a flat, on any floor- with or without lift!

i like the curves in the first photo and it's so interesting to me to see people hang their clothes to dry off the balconies!
The elevators add interest to the otherwise plain buildings.
I love the art deco style!
The style does appeal to me.
These look rather modern for being built in the 20s. And overall in pretty good shape. Thank goodness they are putting in some elevators. I'd hate to carry groceries up four flights of stairs.
Those designs have stood the test of time, they still look good today. We have a lot of those "external lifts" here too. I rather like them.
Great 1920s styling!
That first one. What color.
Great design of the balcony.
A touch of Art Deco here, my favourite!
