It testifies to a special and internationally recognised period for Italian architectural culture, characterised by a highly fertile relationship between different disciplines.

The Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) announced, in January 2010, that the stadium would undergo an expansion, that will increase its capacity to 42,000, before the 2012 Six Nations Championship.
[12] However, when the city finally began the promised renovations, FIR announced that it would instead keep its Six Nations home fixtures in Rome at Stadio Olimpico,[13] and that it would return to the Flaminio once the project is completed.
[14] The stadium was originally slated to become the home of Praetorians Roma, a newly formed team that would be one of Italy's two representatives in the Celtic League.
