Sculpture detail at the Mussolini's Square Coliseum in the EUR district ROME
The "Square Coliseum" as it is popularly known was the work of Guerrini. Commissioned and completed in the early thirties it was largely inspired by Mussolinis fascist or "modernism" architectural style of the time. EUR is full of fascist inspired architecture with the Palazzo della Civilta being one of the finest and most famous buildings in EUR and Rome. Recently the Square Coliseum was used by a major film company to advertise the latest James Bond film -Casino Royal which outraged Rome's cultural population. Now unused the building is a relic to a less than illustrious past.
