The first master plan of Rome after its annexation to Italy, dated 1873, already provided for the enlargement of Via Cremona (the parallel of Via Alessandrina under the Capitolium, which crossed the Forum of Caesar) towards Via Cavour, as well as the construction of an overhead viaduct which should have extended the same Via Cavour and passed over the Roman Forum, towards Piazza Bocca della Verità and Trastevere. However, the building of the gigantic mass of the Vittoriano – which took place between 1900 and 1911 outside of any planning, as happened for decades in Rome – shifted the focus of urban planners from the Forums to Piazza Venezia.
