The new building at Via De Amicis 154, designed by Giovanni Vaccarini Architetti in the center of Pescara, reinterprets the concept of a residential structure, blending traditional typology with a more direct connection to the urban environment. Conceived as a series of overlapping residences, the new architecture by Giovanni Vaccarini opens onto the city through spacious terraces that extend variably around a central core. The building's ground level steps back from the street frontage, occupying only a minimal portion of the lot and creating the conditions for continuity with the surrounding public space. The center of Pescara is built on a modern urban fabric where the Adriatic coast and its linear development serve as a key reference. Giovanni Vaccarini, whose studio has been based in Pescara for many years, has repeatedly explored his architectural ideas within this context and the cultures that have shaped it. Vaccarini—an influential figure in Italian architecture—has developed numerous works and projects examining the interplay between private and public spaces, spanning diverse building types and scales: residences, schools, stadiums, energy production facilities, and hospitals. For Vaccarini, the city of Pescara is a place of experimentation, where he can modify established typologies. The palazzina, a multifamily residential building and a focal point of his research, is one such typology.
