Square Colosseum-Rome Italy 2023 🇮🇹 - 4K HDR Walking Tour 60fps

Описание: Before visiting the EUR district, stop in front of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana: you will immediately understand why it is known as the Colosseo Quadrato or even Groviera, as the Roman citizens sympathetically call it. Its innumerable arches recall those of the Flavian Amphitheater dating back to 80 AD. This simple building, which borders on visual perfection thanks to the clean lines, was desired not by an emperor but by Benito Mussolini. In the 1930s, the city of Rome was about to host the Universal Exposition, which took place in 1942. The fascist government then, in October 1922, decided to take this opportunity to celebrate the twenty years of the regime and at the same time to expand the city. Thus was born the idea of ​​erecting a new neighborhood, which took its name from the Universal Exposition Rome, precisely Eur 42. Each building was to be an expression of fascist power.
The Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana began to be built in 1936 but, like all other buildings, the works were interrupted due to the outbreak of the Second World War, and then resumed and ended in the post-war period. As you climb the steps of the white staircase, know that the place on 9 September 1943 was the scene of a bloody clash between Italian soldiers and German paratroops, at the end of which an Italian soldier died, then decorated with military valor. Returning to the birth of the Colosseum Square, the project was chosen following a public competition, won by architects La Padula, Guerrini, and Romano

The exaltation of the arch :

The square Colosseum is the symbol of that rationalist architectural style of the twentieth century: this monumentality that you observed was part of the typically fascist city and order ideals. In the mind of Mussolini, the square Colosseum was to transmit strength and power, just as the Roman Colosseum used to refer to the Empire.
The building is 63 meters high, for a total of seven floors. The thing that will jump you to the eye is obviously the abundance of bows: on each of six floors there are as many as nine, for a total of 54 for each façade. Speaking of numbers, the legend tells that the number of arches is not random, but would correspond to the number of letters of the name and surname of Benito Mussolini, precisely 6 and 9.
The structure is completely reinforced concrete, then covered with white Roman travertine marble. The choice of materials is not accidental: not only do we want to imitate the Flavian Amphitheater, but also to send a message to the world about Italian self-sufficiency in building in local stone, without the need for iron and cement. It is important, however, to remind you that these last materials were almost untraceable after the sanctions received by Italy following the war in Ethiopia.
The sculptures outside :
Climbing the steps of the two staircases, observed, at the four corners, the equestrian sculptures by Publio Morbiducci representing the Dioscuri, mythological sons of Zeus (Castor and Pollux). Reaching the base of the Colosseum Square, you can see under the arches 28 marble statues that are nothing more than allegories of arts and crafts of the Italian people: from painting to poetry, from music to philosophy through law, astronomy, and l 'archeology.
Another element characterizing the building of Italian Civilization is the redundant phrase written in block letters and placed on top of the building, a clear expression of the Italian people: "A people of poets of artists, heroes, saints, thinkers, scientists, of navigators, of transmigrators ".
