It was the beginning of the thirties when the city of Rome decided to build a hospital in the Monteverde area for housing and care of people who were suffering from tuberculosis.
The complex occupied a green area of 280,000 squares meters, completely full of tall trees.
The construction ended with the inauguration of the structure on the 10th of December 1934.
Much of the stone used for the construction was extracted from a quarry which was opened in the same site, probably enlarging an existing one.
