This page is similar to any other one might find--contains medal tallies, highlights, etc. I must say that this has become a format for most Olympic pages related to past Olympiads. But I think it needs something more. The Rome Olympics was known for its cultural setting--the way the organizers used Roman-era ruins and sites as venues for some events. Hence, a detail of these venues, as well as the events held there, should be included--similar to pages devoted to future Olympic Games devoting substantial part of the article to the modernistic venues and the technological advancements involved.

Is there any type of main image anyone can get for this to make this look similar to the other pages of the Olympic Games?

A program cover, official logo, etc.?

[edit] Host City

Why is the host city shown as Italy? Echoes 01:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Because Rome is in Italy. Optichan 17:36, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
