From ancient
ruins and Renaissance basilicas, to baroque churches and hulking fascist
palazzi, Rome’s architectural legacy is unparalleled.
Michelangelo, Bramante,
Borromini and Bernini are among the architects who have stamped their genius on
Rome’s remarkable cityscape, which features some of the Western world’s most
celebrated buildings.
But it’s not all about history.
In recent years a number
of high-profile building projects have drawn the world’s top architects to
Rome, their futuristic designs provoking discussion, debate and soul-searching
among the city’s loquacious and passionate critics.
