Descriptive Note Text
This postcard reproduces a watercolor of the Padiglione del giornale. Designed by Architects: Pietro Fenoglio, Stefano Molli, Giacomo Salvadori di Wiesenhof, the Newspaper Pavilion was built by Impresa Quadri Beniamino e Colombo Giovanni. The Newspaper Pavilion featured a magnificent central hall (23 meters in height) occupying a surface of 22 by 80 square meters.
The Newspaper Pavilion was one of the very few buildings that were designed to last beyond the exposition, as it was built with reinforced concrete on two storeys. The building's glass facade was reminiscent of the Crystal Palace. It was demolished in the 1930s.
