Description

The Olympic Village is located in a quadrant close to the city centre, between the Parioli and Flaminio districts.

Designed in 1958 by Vittorio Cafiero, Adalberto Libera, Amedeo Luccichenti, Vincenzo Monaco and Luigi Moretti, the Olympic Village consists of 1348 flats, created to house the athletes of the 1960 Olympics, and later used for state employees. Together with the apartments, the Palazzetto dello Sport, the Flaminio Stadium and the Corso Francia viaduct were built. Later, around the 2000s, two more focal points were added to the district: the Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Futbolclub sports club.
