In which year of the 20th century were the Olympic Games held in the city of Rome?

Explanation

In 1960, the Olympic Games were held in the Italian capital of Rome. It was the first time the world could follow the Olympics on television. The Pope also blessed the athletes for the first time, with the exception of the atheistic Soviets. The Games became another ideological battle between East and West, with the Soviet Union emerging victorious with 42 gold medals. East African runners made their mark in long-distance running, including Ethiopia's Abebe Bikila, who won the marathon barefoot. One of the future legends of the boxing ring was introduced with Cassius Clay's (Muhammad Ali) gold medal. The Olympics also experienced its first doping tragedy when Danish cyclist Knud Enemark collapsed and died during the 100 km team time trial.
