13th February 2007- Rome, Vittoriano.This monument to Victor Emanuel II is over 100 years old.It has been described as tasteless but half way up the steps the eternal flames stand over the tomb of the unknown soldier. The views from the top terraces make up for the design of this momument on the south side of Piaza Venezia.. From the North we look over the buildings on Piazza Venezia. From the North we look over Via del Corso and the buildings of the Centro Storico. |
