Summary
With the interruption of the works of the EUR due to World War II, the narrative of the ideological placemaking of post-unification Italy and, more specifically, of the fascist phase of this intricate journey into the rediscovery of the classical world, and its interpretation and reception in modern Italy, comes to an end. Together with the University City, the Palazzo del Littorio then turned into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the unrealised Danteum, and the Foro Italico, were added to the now isolated ancient monuments of imperial Rome as places newly representing national identity.
