The EUR District: Decrypted Fascist Modernity

Jeu d'ombres avec les statues sous les arches du Colisée carré

A Philosophical Walk Through the EUR District

Vue et reflet du Colisée carré dans un bassin d'eau au coucher du soleil
Over coffee with Pierre Marie, a French philosopher, discover the key ideas behind the aestheticization of politics, the tension between modernity and tradition, and architecture as a tool of propaganda.

Then, explore the EUR district, where you can *feel* how Mussolini’s ideology is embedded in the buildings and urban space—offering a tangible, emotional experience rather than just a theoretical one. EUR stands out as the only place where the unfinished materialization of a totalitarian utopia can still be observed, where political concepts take shape in architecture and the city itself.

This visit is open to everyone—no prior knowledge needed.
