 The Victor Emmanuel Monument by deecat
I dodged traffic (an unsafe activity) and finally made it close enough. Then, every time I thought it would be perfect, a Tourist Bus would block my view.
Even though it is not a good view, I did accomplish what I set out to do.
Some books say that this Victor Emmanuel Monument was erected to celebrate Italian independence. Others say that it was erected to honor Victor Emmanuel II, the first King of Unified Italy.
The monumentt was begun in 1885 and inaugurated in 1911.
I really was not so interested in what it was as much as how it looked. The bas-relief work was incredible, and the closer I got, the more awed I was. I also was impressed with the statues at the right and left roofs of the horses and the winged maiden.
All in all, this monument to Victor Emmanuel II is one that I always associate with our trips to Rome. Leave a Comment

 Monument for Vittorio Emanuele by chicabonita
I have read in my travel book that the monument was built to honor Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of the united Italy.
It is increadible how huge it is! It was also the building we passed the most while walking around. Don't asked me why! :-))
Third time is a charm! The first time we saw it we couldn't visit because the president of Malta was coming. The second time it was too late! It closes at 4.30 pm. Finally the third time we had sufficient time to explore this impressive and amazing monument! Leave a Comment

 Piazza Venezia by sandysmith
On the four of its sides were Palazzo Venezia, Palazzetto Venezia, Palazzo Nepoti, Palazzo Torlonia and Palazzo d'Aste Bonaparte. The name of the square emphasized the political and architectoral importance of Palazzo Venezia.

 Vittorio Emmanuelle by bugalugs
It is also the resting place of the unknown soldier and has an eternal flame and is guarded by soldiers.
It has many steps leading up to a viewing area.
Some people call it the typewriter because of its looks. Leave a Comment

 Military Monument by TinKan
If you ever see pictures of speeches made during WW-II you will see large crowds use to gather here to listen to the latest from their leaders.
There is a nice row of coffee shops across the street that you can sit and watch the lights come on at night and just watch the people go by.
Look in my travel log for more pictures of this monument to the military Leave a Comment

The building is build to honour Italian's first king between 1885 and 1911 and designed by Giuseppe Sacconi.
The building is now also the grave of the unknown soldier.
