Palazzo dello Sport
Marcello Piacentini; Pier Luigi Nervi · Rome, Italy · 1960
Pier Luigi Nervi's structural engineering gives the arena its immense ribbed concrete dome, while Marcello Piacentini shapes the monumental external composition. Built for the 1960 Olympics and substantially renewed in the early 2000s, it remains a key Roman example of expressive long-span concrete engineering.
