Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana
Lovers of unique architecture and WWII history will want to take the short bus ride to the EUR or Esposizione Universale Roma. Mussolini intended the EUR to become the new center of Rome and the architecture of structures like the Palazzo Della Civilta Italiana and Palazzo dei Congressi were designed to be symbols of Mussolini’s Fascist ideology. While that may not sound entirely appetizing on paper, the buildings have a strange alternate history beauty to them, and the Palazzo Della Civita Italiana serves now as the headquarters of the fashion brand Fendi. #EUR #WWII #architecture
