EUR stands for\u00a0Esposizione Universale Roma, a worlds fair that the dictator Benito Mussolini and his administration planned for 1942, to celebrate 20 years of Fascist rule in Italy.<\/p>\n<div

The left over architectural style\u00a0is often called simplified neoclassicism with large, symmetrical streets and white buildings with\u00a0austere facades dominating the view. I really enjoyed getting lost in EUR and walking through scenes that wouldn&#8217;t look out of place in La Dolce Vita so if you ever get the chance to visit Rome, take a risk and venture outside the city. You never know what you might find.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-separator type-thin\"><\/div>\n<div id='gallery-7' class='gallery galleryid-8605 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure
