The Foro Italico (inaugurated in 1932 with the name of Foro Mussolini) is a vast sports complex located at the base of Monte Mario in Rome, conceived and built by Enrico Del Debbio between 1927 and 1933 and completed after the war between 1956 and 1968. The sports complex of the Foro Italico, initially called "Foro Mussolini", was designed in 1927 by the architect Enrico Del Debbio. The initiator of the Forum was Renato Ricci, undersecretary for National Education and founder of the National Opera Balilla. For the choice of the place where to build it, three areas were initially considered: the Tiburtino district, in the area where the University City would later rise (1935), the Casal Palocco district and the Parioli district, where in the 1950s the Olympic village would be built for the 17th Olympics Games in 1960; all three hypotheses, however, were discarded and an area adjacent to the Tiber river was finally chosen, which through reclamation passed from a quagmire to a building area. The overhanging hill of Monte Mario, which guaranteed the sports complex a natural green background, was also bound by the Superintendence of Fine Arts. The first works of the architectural complex were inaugurated on November 4, 1932: Palazzo H, seat of the Fascist Male Academy of Physical Education, the Stele Mussolini, the Stadio dei Marmi and the Stadio dei Cipressi (later the Hundred Thousand Stadium and today's Olympic Stadium). In 1936 and later until 1941 Luigi Moretti, former author of the Fencing Academy, elaborated, without ever realizing them, expansive projects of the Forum towards Tor di Quinto, inserting Del Debbio's urban plan already completed.
