The sports complex Foro Italico, formerly Foro Mussolini, was built between 1928-1938 under the design of Enrico Del Debbio and, later, Luigi Moretti. Inspired by the Roman forums of the imperial age, its design is a preeminent example of Italian Fascist architecture instituted by Mussolini. The purpose of the prestigious project was to host the Olympic Games of 1944, to be organized by fascist Italy and held in Rome. – Corners bumped, a few small retouched spots, otherwise in good condition.
