I am not a fan of classical monuments but I will have to admit that the complex of Vittoriano in Rome is really something.
I love the statues and find them particularly dramatic.
Especially the one here below.
It is hypnotical and I could spend hours staring at it!
These shots were taken during a cloudy morning, maybe not the best light in general but to me it was the best for such a lugubre place, built in memory of people killed for their country and somehow their freedom.
The whole monument has been built in memory of Vittorio Emanuele II.
For this reason the whole complex is called Il Vittoriano as well.
To tell you the truth Romans call it The Typewriter too because its shape reminds exactly he old fashion typewriters.
But this is something you better perceive in television when they forecast images took from the helicopter.
It’s huge!
yes, and impressive! 🤣
Definitely! 🙂
Love Rome!
Me too 😊
Beautiful.
thank youuu. I am glad you liked it!
I was so disappointed I had only allowed one night in Rome when I finished walking the Via Francigena back in September. One day I will return to your fair city and just walk and walk and walk. Melx
Brava! The only way to discover this city is to walk! Put on your most comfortable shoes, head up, and let you surprise! 😉💪
It’s one of my favourite buildings in Rome. I always discover something new when I explore it.
