Via Alessandrina was the main street of the ancient Alessandrino district, built by Pius V for connecting the Trajan's Forum to the Basilica of Maxentius. During the fascist era the area was demolished for the construction of the Via dell'Impero (now called Via dei Fori Imperiali). All the buildings in the neighborhood were demolished, while the ancient tracing of the road still exists and constitutes the walkway that runs through the interior of the forum of Trajan. The views show us the housing situation of the neighborhood immediately before the demolitions: in one you can see the road still busy with cars and trams, the beautiful advertisements and people walking, in the second the beginnings of the demolitions are immortalized, in the background you can see the laying of the bronze statues on the ''Vittoriano'' This object is shipped from Italy.
