The project of the Palace of Justice of Catania was commissioned to Francesco Fichera in 1936. The building, located within the large square Giovanni Verga, required a thorough process of study and design, which was followed by 15 years to complete the construction. Fichera experimented various solutions, as shown by the many archive drawings, arriving at five hypotheses, the last corresponds to the realized project. The second project hypothesis is shown in the following 3D model, it is constituted by a planimetric plant composed by the intersection between a rectangle and a part of a circular sector. The combination of the two geometries is resolved by some trapezoidal and triangular rooms, turned with the concave curve to Piazza Verga and closed through a large linear portico characterized by the succession of pilasters at full height.
