Station Ostiense - Stazione Ostiense


Another image taken to the flight by the bus. Another image in the less known Rome.
This is the beautiful barracks of the officers of the fire "Station Ostiense".
Planned by the architect Vincenzo Fasolo in the classical style of the fascist epoch that recalls the Roman empire:use of the “tufo” and the “travertine” (abundant to Rome) to give a feeling of order to the structure harmony.

The pipes for the water after the use, were washed in a tub and facts to dry inside the tower that you see.
It cost, to the epoch, in 1926, few more than two million and a half of the old liras and it asked for two years of time



Un’altra immagine presa al volo dall’autobus. Un’altra immagine della Roma meno conosciuta.
Questa è la bella caserma dei Vigili del Fuoco della “Stazione Ostiense”
Progettato dall’architetto Vincenzo Fasolo nello stile classico dell’epoca fascista che richiama i fasti dell’impero romano:
l’uso del tufo e del travertino conferivano una sensazione di armonia dando alla struttura
un’idea militaresca all’esterno e monastica all’interno.

I tubi per l’acqua dopo l’uso, venivano lavati in una vasca e fatti
asciugare dentro la torre che vedete.
Costò, all’epoca, nel 1926, poco più di due milioni e mezzo delle vecchie lire e richiese due
anni di tempo.

It seems like the people who can look out the windows in the top will have a great view! I really like the color of the stones in this building.

"Are you mad about what has been happening inside Iran these days? Well then take a deep breath... blow it all into a Green Balloon... and wait until Friday afternoon to send it up to the sky, wherever you are on this planet. Millions of Iranians inside Iran are planning to paint the sky green on Friday exactly at 1pm Tehran time. The non-violent green movement is being cracked down on the ground, so lets take it to the sky."
