In this episode, we unravel the complex legacy of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, better known as the Square Colosseum. Originally designed as a fascist showpiece for the 1942 World’s Fair, it now serves as the headquarters of luxury fashion house Fendi. How does a structure born from authoritarian ideals become a beacon of high fashion? We explore the building’s symbolism in architecture, cinema, and contemporary culture, questioning whether its restoration represents preservation, appropriation, or historical amnesia.
