Moonlight postcards from the Vittoriano

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.

The Vittoriano was designed by the architect Giuseppe Sacconi in honour of the first king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II, in 1882-1883. The work was prolonged until the 1930s. Considered the supreme symbol of Italy united and independent, the Vittoriano soon became a pivotal place in the nation's collective imagination. Young and old are invited to discover its events, architecture and art with an animated narrative tailor-made for them. Visitors set off on a journey through time, walk up flights of steps and panoramic terraces, admiring the city from above thanks to the breath-taking view, and finally reinvent the places explored by creating imaginative and colourful illustrated postcards.
