Street construction in front of the Coliseum in Rome, 1932

Street construction in front of the Coliseum in Rome. The work is part of Benito Mussolini's plan to create a boulevard, the so-called 'Via Dei Fori Imperiali', which would be used for parades and would give the dictator a free view of the Coliseum from his balcony at the Palazzo Venezia.
