    Headquarters of ISS in Rome.

    The official opening of the ISS, called Istituto di Sanità Pubblica (Institute of Public Health), took place on April 21, 1934. The construction of the main building in Rome, designed by architect Giuseppe Amendola, started on July 6, 1931 and it was financed by the American Rockefeller Foundation.

    In 1941 the Istituto di Sanità Pubblica assumed its present name of Istituto Superiore di Sanità

    In 1958 the ISS came under the protection of the Ministry of Health, from the Ministry of Interior.
