<p>The magnificent <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Vittoriano&amp;w=45358973@N04">Monument to Victor Emmanuel II</a>, in the heart of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Rome&amp;w=45358973@N04">Rome</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Italy&amp;w=45358973@N04">Italy</a>.<br />
<br />
Built in the early 1900s, to commemorate the first king of a unified Italy, the monument is constructed in neoclassical style, inspired by the colonnades of ancient Greek and Roman architecture, and mimicking the pomp of Berlin's Brandenburg gate or London's Admiralty Arch. The statue of the king ahorse is central to the piece, with the angels of Unity and Liberty driving chariots above, and Dea Roma below, ensconced in gold and flanked by the Allegories of Work and Patriotism. Behind the king, each column represents a major Italian city.<br />
<br />
The monument houses numerous artefacts from Italy's history, including the tomb of the unknown soldier. The latter stages of completion were under Mussolini's regime, and after the second world war numerous fascist symbols were removed from the structure.<br />
