In this episode, we explore Rome’s dramatic transformation from a papal city to the capital of a unified Italy. Starting with the 1883 master plan, we examine how modern urban projects like the Lungotevere embankments reshaped the city while sacrificing historic neighborhoods. From debates on “building thinning” to balancing ancient ruins with modern needs, we uncover how Rome became a city of layers, blending past and future. Discover the tension between progress and preservation in a city where history is always present.
