In 1936 Mussolini had built Cinecitta Studios, blatantly Roman in
style, complete with Roman-style mosaics with modern Italian

elephants, providing the only example of a charge of live
elephants in film.

I spent a couple of weeks about ten years ago doing train travel around
Italy.  The main railway station in Milan dates from the thirties and
looks exactly like what you'd expect an ancient Roman railway station to
look like.
