The New Fascist Rome

[gallery ids="6761,6762,6763" type="rectangular"]

The famous model of Rome commissioned by Mussolini in 1935, taking 38 years to complete. It's dimensions are 16m X 16m (1:250) and is currently housed at the National Museum in Rome. It appears for a few frames in the movie Gladiator from 2000 and is a monumental testament to both Rome and the artist. It was restored and painted and put on display this year.
