Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana

This guide to the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome starts with the inscription cut into every face of the building, words from a 1935 Mussolini speech, and the nickname locals gave the place: the Square Colosseum. It follows the legend that the architects encoded the dictator's name into the six levels and nine arches of its design, and the 1942 World's Fair the palace was built to anchor before construction stalled. Walk around all four sides and count the arches for yourself before you look up at the lettering above them.
