Tech/Engineering - Architecture
Italian term or phrase: casa littoria
Context:

La committente del castello di Gabiano, inoltre, assieme alla Federazione Fascista di Genova, gli affida nel 1928 l’incarico per la costruzione della Casa littoria di Arenzano, che edificata nel 1930, rimane l’unico esempio di “moderno edificio” nella produzione di Cusani.

Maybe a special name for the building in the Fascist era... Is there an English equivalent to it?
