Take a bus from the centre of Rome first to the Foro Italico and then EUR, and see iconic examples of Mussolini’s fascist neo-classical architecture.
The Foro Italico was once known as the Foro Mussolini and was built to host the 1940 Olympic Games. The Stadio dei Marmi displays clear traces of classical influence and is a unique sports ground.
EUR, Esposizione Universale Roma, was constructed for the World’s Fair in 1942 which was disrupted by the War. Here, in this neighborhood frozen in time, your guide will tell you all about Mussolini’s reign, his architectural style, and his sources of inspiration.
Back in the heart of Rome, you can compare the fascist-style to that of classical Rome.
