Facts and practical information

The Stadio dei Marmi, or the "Stadium of the Marbles," is a remarkable sports stadium nestled within the Foro Italico sports complex in Rome, Italy. Known for its classical elegance and historical significance, the stadium is an embodiment of Italian Fascist architecture, featuring a grand design adorned with numerous marble statues.

Constructed between 1928 and 1932, the Stadio dei Marmi was designed by architect Enrico Del Debbio as part of Mussolini's vision to revive the grandeur of ancient Rome. The stadium is encircled by 60 marble statues that represent various athletic disciplines and were donated by different Italian cities during the Fascist regime. These statues epitomize the idealized human form, reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, and contribute to the stadium's unique and awe-inspiring ambiance.

With a seating capacity of approximately 4,000 spectators, the Stadio dei Marmi is primarily used for track and field events. The stadium has also hosted prestigious sports events, such as the 1960 Summer Olympics, and continues to be a venue for international competitions and training sessions.

Visitors to Rome interested in history, architecture, and sports will find the Stadio dei Marmi to be a fascinating site. The stadium's proximity to other attractions within the Foro Italico, such as the Stadio Olimpico and the Tennis Centre, makes it a convenient stop for tourists exploring this sports district.
