This was done according to plans by Gaetano Rapisardi , who ensured an architectural style shaped by fascism and who later also designed San Giovanni Bosco. Urbanization intensified as a result of the Second World War . The film Mamma Roma by Pier Paolo Pasolini is about the expansion of the neighborhood in the late 1950s.
