Piazza Venezia is a central hub of Rome, Italy, known for its grandiose architecture and cultural significance. At the heart of the Piazza stands the Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland), also known as the Vittoriano. The monument is an imposing white marble structure built in honor of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy. Its construction sparked much controversy for its size and style but has since become an iconic symbol of Italian nationalism. With its grand stairways, columns, and sculptures representing various Italian cities, the Vittoriano also hosts the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with an eternal flame, making it a place of commemoration. From its terraces, visitors enjoy panoramic views of Rome. The Piazza Venezia serves as a major traffic intersection and marks the starting point of the famous Via del Corso, leading north through the heart of the city.
