Sant'Eugenio Hospital (Italian: ospedale Sant'Eugenio) is a hospital located in Rome. It is one of the largest hospitals in Central Italy.[1] The construction of the hospital began in 1933, during the Fascist period. The original project, curated by Gaspare Lenzi, Luigi Lenzi and Dagoberto Ortensi,[1] was inspired by Castel del Monte but planned to develop the building of an octagonal plant (rather than pentagonal) and erecting five towers at the corners of the rationalist building. The intention would be to occupy the institute of eugenics, with some scholars involved in the project having been among the signatories of the Manifesto of Race.
