The decision to build a new post office building was made in 1929 and the final design by architect Angiolo Mazzoni dates back to 1930: the year in which construction work began.

Angiolo Mazzoni (Bologna 1884 – Rome 1979)

Mazzoni was born in Bologna in 1884. Educated in the same city, he earned a degree in Engineering in 1919 and subsequently a diploma in Architecture from the Academy of Fine Arts. His cultural background was influenced by great figures such as Gustavo Giovannoni, Marcello Piacentini, and Giuseppe Terragni. Inspired by Florentine style, between 1929 and 1930 he designed the Palazzo delle Poste e dei Telegrafi in Gorizia. The building features a tall tower and a deep portico, where the monument to the Fallen Postal and Telegraph Soldiers was erected by Domenico Ponzi, designed by Mazzoni himself. On the exterior, the rusticated brickwork echoes the interior and lends the façade a sense of grandeur. It currently houses numerous works of art, including the famous work by Guglielmo Sansoni, known as Tato, entitled "Train Running," dating back to 1933 and a masterpiece of the Futurist movement.
