An exhibit display case in an indoor setting showcases a white architectural model of a portion of the Colosseum, specifically detailing an unbuilt project by Carlo Fontana for a circular church within the arena. The model, made of a light-colored material, depicts the arched exterior walls of the ancient amphitheater with a flat, light-colored base. It is enclosed within a clear glass case, which reflects overhead yellowish artificial lights and faint, blurred shapes of onlookers or elements behind the viewer. Below the glass case, a dark gray display panel features a white plaque with black text. This plaque provides a trilingual description (Italian, English, and Chinese) of the model: "Model reconstruction of the project by Carlo Fontana for the Church of the Martyrs in the Colosseum. After the 1675 Jubilee, Clement XI commissioned the architect Carlo Fontana to start work on the project, never built, for a circular church in the arena. Inside an oval portico, to the east, was the domed church with a fountain at the far end." The base of the display case is a dark, granular material. The location is within the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, or an associated exhibit area.
