WHAT IT'S ABOUT
During the month of March 2001 the Rosselli
Foundation proceeded with the purchase of the building in Corso
Giulio Cesare no. 6 on the corner of Via Noè, the ex-Hotel
Colombo, to be converted into the new headquarters for its activities.
In the new offices the Rosselli Foundation, besides increasing its usual institutional research and training-convention activities, intends to offer an opportunity to experts and researchers to access the new cultural funds recently acquired, constituted by the Library and the Nello Rosselli archive, which includes approx. 5000 volumes including different texts from the 15th to the 18th century, such as for example, the complete works of the philosopher, Voltaire.
The new headquarters will also involve the creation of the only public library in Italy of the International Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCSE).
The new offices will be equipped with a hostel provided with rooms for temporary workers and visitors.

high efficiency, substitution of the centralized boilers with new systems to high efficiency and low emission of pollution, installation of individual thermostatic valve, installation of light bulbs to high efficiency.

that it will last until the end of 2002.
FOR MORE INFO
The design of the new headquarters, drawn up
by the Turin architect, Cesare Burdese, intends to
create an environment suitable for the innovative level of the cultural
activity of the Rosselli Foundation and the value of the cultural resources
present, through the adoption of leading edge technology and spatial
solutions and quality forms, while fully respecting the existing structures
present and valorising the entire building.
In particular, by means of a careful reading of the original character of the building, including making use of archive documentation, the intention is to refurbish the side facing corso Giulio Cesare, as can be seen from the building permit of 1891.
At the moment it is not possible to provide design documentation.
