The image above was taken in the "new" town of Eur, just outside Rome. The high style modernist town was created before Mussolini's ouster, in a style that is today known as "Mussolini Modern." The other images are Rome proper. Peter Greenaway's film "The Belly of an Architect" is set in Rome, and is a beautiful travelogue of the city, as well as a compelling story. Check it out on Netflix.
