Sasso Mobile

Casa Volpe is a residential complex with a unique appearance of the outer walls of its housing units, characterized by horizontal rows of exposed bricks, interspersed with parts which have been covered with simple plasterwork. The complex, designed in 1936 by Luigi Veronesi (1889-1963), features the tower-like formation of its water tank since the upward push of the acquaduct was not sufficient to reach the upper floors of the building at the time. The water tank, located in the center of a courtyard, maintains the horizontal pattern of brickwork visible on the main buildings, and now displays a large, lit-up clock, recognizable even from far away.
