Termini to Via Rasella

Walking out of Termini towards Piazza Dei Cinquecento continue on to V. Le Einaudi. This will take you in to Piazza Della Repubblica where you will see Santa Maria degli Angeli on the right. Continue walking through the Piazza on to V.V.E. Orlando, passing San Bernardo alla Terme on the left. Approaching the intersection of Via XX Settembre you will see the Santa Susanna church just across the way. Turn left on to this street until you reach the intersection of Vi A Delle Quattro where you will see San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane on the left. Turn right on San Carlo and shortly up the road on the left you will reach the destination on Via Rasella.
Approaching Via Rasella you will see a building on the left, easy to identify by its bullet holes making a vast design up the wall. Bullet holes encompass both the front and right side of the building. Looking at the holes you can see the depth of the wall and imagine the violent action that took place in the spot that you are standing.

Why are the bullet holes there?
