| Piazza Venezia |
Behind Capitol Hill, where the main roads of Via del Corso and Via dei Fori Imperial intersect, lies Piazza Venezia, a wide open square built in the 19th century surrounded by Palace Venezia, Palace Bonaparte, Palace of Generali and watched over by the imposing Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II. This monument, also called the Vittoriano, was built in 1885 in neoclassical style by Giuseppe Sacconi, to honour the first king of Italian state Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy. In the middle there is the Tomba del Milite Ignoto (Tomb of Unknown Soldier) also called Altare della Patria (Country’s Altar) where an unkown soldier from the First World War is buried, symbolising the numerous soldiers who died in the Great War without a named grave. Inside Vittoriano you will also find the Central Museum of Risorgimento.
Palace Venezia, which became famous for its balcony from which Mussolini made his speeches to the crowd, is indeed an important Renaissance palace, built by pope Paul II Farnese. Inside the palace there is a museum of Minor Arts from the Middle Ages, which exhibits works of enamel, inlay, jewelry and a collection of bronze works and ceramics from the Renaissance.
