On the use of the building in the 1943-45 period (in translation): …in that period the basement of the building was used as the headquarters of the counter-espionage services of the fascist regime. Starting from 1943 instead (until 26 April 1945) the Muti Legion, commanded by Francesco Colombo, took office there.(Submitted on March 27, 2023.)
