Victor Emmanuel II Monument - a photo on Flickriver

Victor Emmanuel II Monument

            The Vittoriano is a huge monument in the heart of Rome.  It sits on the edge of Capitoline Hill between the Roman Forum and Piazza Venezia.  Completed in 1933, it is formally dedicated to King Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a re-unified Italy, but it more commemorates Italian Unification and idea of Italy.

It is 70 metres tall, 130 metres deep and 135 metres wide and clad it white marble.  The design is pseudo-Neoclassical and designed to recall the glory of ancient Rome.  Some would say its all 'too much' and it is sometimes referred to as the "wedding cake".   

There are numerous statues, including three huge bronzes: the equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel at centre, flanked by  two Winged Victories on Quadriga (Four Horse Chariot) on each end.  On the second level is the 'Altare della Patria' (Altar of the Fatherland), originally built as a symbolic altar to the goddess Roma, but now also serves as the 'Tomba del Milite Ignoto' (Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers).
