Photo taken on July 16, 2014 shows a statue of the "Palazzo della civilta del lavoro" or "Square Colosseum", a fascist architecture icon in the Esposizione Universale Roma district, also known as 'E.42' in Rome. The place which is currently closed to the public for restoration will house the headquarters of luxury fashion label Fendi which reportedly pay 2.8 million euros per annum to inhabit the space. The Palazzo della Civilta Italiana designed by architects Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto Bruno La Padula and Mario Romano and constructed between 1938 and 1943 was part of the program of the Esposizione Universale Roma, a large business center and suburban complex, initiated in 1935 by Benito Mussolini for the planned 1942 world exhibition.
