This race course was set up running through Rome's Esposizione
Universale Roma (EUR) neighborhood. The route included a run down part
of the famous Via Cristoforo Colombo and a finish line at the Marconi
Obelisk, a monument to Nobel Prize-winning radio pioneer Guglielmo
Marconi built for Rome's 1960 Summer Olympics. Other highlights the
track passes include the Rome Convention Center and the Palazzo dei
Congressi, which hosted events during the Olympics and was originally
designed for the cancelled 1942 World's Fair that had been planned to be
held in EUR before World War II broke out.

There were proposals for Formula 1 street course races here in 1984 and
2009 before Formula E brought a track here to fruition.
