What To Expect
Itinerary
Stop At:
Obelisco del Foro Italico
See two of Rome’s modern obelisks and the Foro Italico, and then
reflect on the similarities between Mussolini’s design and the better-
known city centre.
EUR, or Esposizione Universale Roma,
which Mussolini hoped to make the centre of his new
rejuvenated Rome. Here you will find the perfectly intact
buildings which ‘Il Duce’ had planned to use during the 1942
World Fair.
Returning to the heart of Rome you will be able to compare the
imposing Fascist architecture to the remains of Ancient Rome
with a walk down Via dei Fori Imperiali.
