In 2018, artist Nick Bastis filmed his work Resolutions Dogs in the Olympic Village neighborhood in Rome. The area was realized between 1957 – 1960 by a group of architects, Vittorio Cafiero, Adalberto Libera, Amedeo Luccichenti, Vincenzo Monaco and Luigi Moretti.

Built to house the approximately 8,000 athletes involved in the 1960 Olympic Games, the Olympic Village is a residential complex located in the bend of the Tiber between Via Flaminia, the slopes of Villa Glori and Monti Parioli and was converted into public housing at the end of the sporting event.

The project is an example of rationalist layout but also of formal homogeneity, in line with the urban planning principles of the Modernist Movement. The different architectural structures are unified by the choice of some common elements: the pilotis, the ribbon windows, the cement stringcourses, the yellow brick curtain walling. Although it is surrounded by several prestigious architectural structures, such as Renzo Piano’s auditorium, Pierluigi Nervi’s viaduct and Zaha Hadid’s Maxxi Museum, the Olympic Village is still one of the most interesting modernist constructions in Rome.
