(Drivebycuriosity) - Today my wife and I left EUR Rome, where we had stayed 6 nights, and went to another district of the Italian capital. Before we took the subway we had a last walk, where we discovered aspects of the district we hadn`t seen before.
I reported before that EUR is an out-of-town business & residential district (satellite town) build between 1940 and 1960 (driveby ). I am impressed by the districts` generous design, the futuristic architecture and the geometric structures. The structure and the lavish use of space remind me of Los Angeles.
Many buildings are piece of modern art which makes EUR as a museum for architecture & design. Above the building of Poste Italiano.
They are till constructing a new congress center, a futuristic glass
cube with strange interior which looks in the night like a stranded
spaceship.
Above another modern building.
Rome is the home of the Pope, there has to be a stylish basilica as well.
But there is also a shopping area
Fortunately the is a subway line which connects EUR to other parts of Rome.
To be continued.
