Big things on the edge


A provisional list (to be elaborated):

- The Vatican, 44 ha, population ~800, 1377
- Villa Adriana, 80+ ha, 117AD
- Cinecitta', 40 ha, 1937
- EUR, ? ha, 1938
- Ostia, ? ha, population  50-75,000, 3rd century BC to 2nd century AD
- Bagni di Tivoli

The intention is to visit a number of these during our visit.  They offer diverse precedents for the 'New Rome in a week' project.
