The dynamic Renzo Piano-designed Auditorium Parco della Musica, a large
performing arts complex, has shaken up the cultural scene with a diverse
program of classical, rock, and experimental music, as well as exhibits and
screenings. Built on the site of the 1960 Olympics and completed in 2002, it
generates the biggest buzz in October with its new yearly film festival.
Several good restaurants on-site accommodate the million-plus annual visitors.
