History

Completed in 1924, the five-story palace is located on the promenade of the Anzio shoreline where, in 1944, the allied forces landed during the World War II (Battle of Anzio).

Paradiso sul mare is today owned by the municipality of Anzio. The beautiful rooms of the Paradiso sul mare initially were destined to house the casino of the city, but the casino was never opened.

Today the palace houses a hospitality school, event space, art exhibitions and movie sets. The building has appeared in Alberto Sordi's 1973 Polvere di stelle (Stardust). In Federico Fellini's Amarcord, where it is featured as the "Grand Hotel of Rimini" and even appears on the original poster of the film designed by John Alcorn.
