60 statues for a stadium |
Viale dello Stadio dei Marmi Rome, Rome 00194 +39 6 48 8991 |
The Stadio dei Marmi that stands beside the larger and better-known Olympic stadium is one of the loveliest sporting complexes in the Foro Italico. Like the entire complex, this stadium was designed by Enrico Del Debbio and built in 1932. Part of its beauty is its surroundings with the Monte Mario and the banks of the Tiber, but most of its attraction is derived from its architectural elegance; in particular the enormous tiers topped by 60 white marble statues that were gifts from Italian cities in commemoration of 60 athletes.
