💨 Abstract

The article explores "New Rome," a little-known, futuristic district in Rome initially envisioned by Benito Mussolini. This area, starkly contrasting the historic city center, features modernist architecture and was planned as a showcase of fascist power. Key landmarks include the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana and the Basilica dei Santi Pietro e Paolo. Today, it serves as a business district with cheaper accommodations and fewer tourists.
