Lungotevere delle Navi

Lungotevere delle Navi is the stretch of lungotevere linking Ponte Giacomo Matteotti to Piazzale delle Belle Arti in Rome, in the Flaminio district.[1]

Palazzo Marina and the lungotevere

The lungotevere is named after the Italian Navy, whose ministry is located in the avenue; it was established by resolution of the Governor of 7 May 1928.[2]

The palazzo della Marina, set of the Ministry offices, was built between 1924 and 1928 and designed by Giulio Magni in 1914. Of Neo-Baroque style, the façade features two anchors that mark the entrance, which belonged to the Austrian battleships Viribus Unitis and Tegetthoff, sunken on 1 November 1918 in Pula.

In correspondence of Lungotevere delle Navi, between Ponte Matteotti and Ponte Risorgimento, is located an "Urban Oasis of the Tiber", in custody to WWF since 1989.[3]
