Christopher Hibbert - Rome. The Biography of the City

9. Rome's main prison, the REGINA COELI, on the west bank of the river opposite the Ponte Mazzini, takes its name from a monastery which formerly occupied the site. The successor to the Carceri Nuove built by Pope Innocent X in the 1650s in Via Giulia, it was constructed on the lines of Bentham's Panopticon icon with cells radiating from a central warders’ block.

1. Approached by way of the Via Appia Nuova and the Via Tuscolana, about ten kilometres from Rome, are the offices and studios of CINECITTÁ. Begun in 1937, to the designs of Gino Peressuti, the construction of Cinecittà was part of an attempt by the Fascist regime to develop the Italian film industry. The project was at first highly successful: in 1938–9 eighty-five films were made, whereas only twelve had been completed in 1930. For several years after the Second World War Cinecittà continued to be extremely profitable; and at one time Italy was making more money from the export of films than any country in the world other than America. Since then the industry has declined, and plans have been submitted to replace Cinecittá with suburban housing.
