Originally exhibited at the prestigious 1937-1938 Mostra Augustea in Rome, this exquisite model now finds its home at the Museo della Civiltà Romana in Rome. The Great block of houses depicted in this photograph is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Roman architecture. The level of detail and precision showcased in this model is truly awe-inspiring, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate design and layout of these historic structures. Dating back to 1938, this photograph not only serves as a visual record but also offers us a glimpse into an era when archaeological discoveries were celebrated through exhibitions like the Mostra Augustea.

Alinari, Fratelli's skillful photography brings out every minute feature with clarity, capturing both light and shadow perfectly.
