Discovering the Vittoriano and Palazzo Venezia

Special initiatives and guided tours, every Saturday afternoon and Sunday

From 2 to 30 January, every Saturday afternoon and every Sunday, 6 guided tours in Italian and English will be offered. The following tours will continue: One palace, one hundred stories. Fascinating facts about Palazzo Venezia; Palazzo Venezia. Art and architecture from the 15th to 20th century; Sculptors and sculpture of the Vittoriano. From Classicism to Art Nouveau: art and propaganda in Rome; and the Vittoriano: symbolism and meaning in the Italian national monument. Moreover, two guided tours will be added.

One for all: the Unknown Soldier

This tour focuses on the Altar of the Fatherland and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, two key elements of the Vittoriano that are also fundamental to Italian national identity. Visitors will learn about the events that led up to their creation, from the law on the fallen individual and the selection of the remains, to the entombment ceremony and the realisation of the Tomb.

The Central Museum of the Risorgimento

Through unique objects and relics that illustrate events and historical figures, the museum makes it possible to retrace the steps of Italian independence and unity from the end of the 18th century to the First World War. It’s a journey into memory and also a must-attend tour for history buffs.
