Piazzale Roma, also known as the She-Wolf, is the ancient gate in the walls that turned towards Rome. The nickname is derived from the monumental column placed in the center of the square on which the she-wolf, symbol of Rome, with the babies Romulus and Remus is carved, a work commissioned in 1938 to commemorate the proclamation of Victor Emmanuel III as Emperor of Ethiopia. It is located at the southern end of Via Roma and Via Scalabrini and marks the beginning of Via Emilia.
