"Vittorio Emanuele II Monument" Piazza Venezia - Vittoriano Tip by stevemt

Piazza Venezia - Vittoriano, Rome: 183 reviews and 299 photos

 
 

This imposing, HUGE monument in Rome is a monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, the first King of unified Italy.

It is of white marble, and, (when I was there,) in pristine condition.

Romans sometimes refer to the structure by a variety of irreverent slang expressions, such as "Zuppa Inglese", "the wedding cake", and "the false teeth", while Americans liberating Rome in 1944 labeled it "the typewriter".

Address: Between Piazza Venezia & Capitoline Hill

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
