Chancellery<br />
of Italy<br />
1967 - 1974<br />
Shortly after arriving in Australia in 1955, <strong>Taglietti</strong><br />
was invited by the Italian Government to choose<br />
a site for their embassy in Canberra. <strong>Taglietti</strong><br />
would go on to prepare the working drawings for<br />
the Ambassador’s residence which was designed<br />
by the Italian State Department of Works in Milan.<br />
He supervised the building’s construction in time<br />
for a visit by the Italian President.<br />
In 1974 <strong>Taglietti</strong> designed the embassy’s<br />
Chancellery, located next door to the residence.<br />
The Chancellery consists of two buildings. The<br />
entry building, visible from Grey Street, is a<br />
rectangular, reinforced concrete building, with<br />
protruding spandrels and piers on battered bases.<br />
The rear block, visible from Adelaide Avenue,<br />
displays <strong>Taglietti</strong>’s horizontal lines and splayed<br />
profiles on a deep overhanging roof and concrete<br />
balustrades.<br />
