The former Casa del Fascio (Fascist House), also known as Palazzo Littorio, is located in the center of Grosseto, in Piazza del Popolo.
The building is a hybrid example of eclecticism and Italian Rationalism typical of the Fascist era. It forms the southern side of Piazza del Popolo, situated between the Rimembranza Bastion and the Porta Nuova gateway. The site where the building stands was once crossed by a section of the Medicean walls of Grosseto, which were demolished between 1939 and 1941. It currently houses the Grosseto headquarters of the Guardia di Finanza.
