Visitors can discover the Vittoriano in the evening hours by participating in exploratory walks and animated tours to take participants on a journey through time in the footsteps of artists, musicians, philosophers and filmmakers.
A visit to the Victor Emmanuel II Monument, or Vittoriano, is an unmissable experience for anyone, Italian or non-Italian. The complex, conceived in January 1878 in honour of the first king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II and the entire Risorgimento process, since 1921 has housed the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and other memories of our history. Participants cross the entrance through the monumental gate on Piazza Venezia, climb up to the Altare della Patria and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, gaze at the statue of Victor Emmanuel II on horseback, remain breathless in front of the dimensions of the Piazzale del Bollettino and the Sommo portico, and finally reach the spectacular Panoramic Terrace at the top to enjoy a unique view over the city of Rome.
