EUR Esposizione Universale Roma
The Esposizione Universale Roma (EUR) is a district located in the southern part of Rome, Italy. It was originally planned as the site for the 1942 World Exposition, which was intended to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the March on Rome and showcase the achievements of fascist Italy under Benito Mussolini. However, due to World War II, the exposition never took place.
The architecture in EUR is characterized by a mix of rationalist and monumental styles, reflecting the design principles of the time. Some key features and landmarks in the EUR area include:
- Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana (Colosseo Quadrato): Also known as the Square Colosseum, this iconic building is one of the most recognizable structures in EUR. It has six stories and is known for its symmetrical arches.
- Palazzo dei Congressi: A congress center with a distinctive semi-circular structure, it is often used for conferences, exhibitions, and events.
- Laghetto dell’EUR: A large artificial lake surrounded by greenery, providing a recreational space for visitors.
- Museo della Civiltà Romana: This museum showcases the history of Rome from its origins to the Middle Ages, using reproductions of ancient artifacts and models.
- Parco Centrale del Lago: A central park with walking paths and green spaces.
“Nuvola” in Rome typically refers to the Nuvola Convention Centre (Centro Congressi Nuvola), officially known as the “La Nuvola – The Cloud.” This architectural project was designed by renowned architect Massimiliano Fuksas and completed in 2016.
The Nuvola is part of the EUR district in Rome and serves as a multifunctional space for conferences, exhibitions, and events. The design of the building is distinctive, resembling a cloud or a nebula, hence the name “Nuvola” (Italian for cloud).
