This medical clinic was established in 1898 and was dedicated to Alessandro Rossi in memory of his fiftieth wedding anniversary. In fact, in 1896, the countess Lucchese-Folco had donated a private plot to the Hospital aimed at the construction of a medical clinic, built and funded by a committee of managers and workers of Lanificio Rossi.

The building, preceded by a little Corinthian pronaos, was designed by engineer Gaetano Rezzara and it rappresents a belated witness of Palladian style.
