Beautiful building and statue BUT:

The workers here are running a scam for tickets to the top terrace.

They come up with any reason for your ticket to be “invalid” and then make you wait in line to get a “refund” which is just them giving you a slip with an email that you can message to in their words “try to get a refund”.

The line for refund slips is equally as long as the line for tickets.

It’s clear the workers have a way of pocketing the money when you “refund” the ticket yet you don’t actually get your cash back.

Obviously there’s a lot of tourist scams in Rome, but it’s sad that the workers at an actual government-backed tourist site are running one.

Very unfortunate because it’s a beautiful, beautiful site! I still recommend visiting, just not going to the very top or being VERY careful when buying tickets to the very top. Probably a good idea to just buy the most expensive tickets so they can’t tell you you bought the wrong ones.

For us we got the 18-25 yr old tickets and they said we had to be from the EU to use these tickets even though it says that no where on the sign, and there is a guy standing right next to the ticket machine, not helping people to choose the right tickets, but just waiting for them to buy the tickets and then telling them they bought the wrong ones and where to go to start the...

Il Vittoriano richiese un parto molto lungo e venne terminato solo nel 1935 tuttavia si decise di inaugurarlo ben prima, nel 1911 e in occasione dei 50anni del regno d'Italia. Proprio in quella occasione si approfittò per scoprire la grandiosa statua equestre in bronzo dorato che era stata dedicata al Re, ovvero il Vittorio Emanuele II che dava il nome a quel monumento e che costituisce l'unica rappresentazione a contenuto non allegorico che è presente nel monumento (dedicato a Unità e Libertà in primis ma con rimandi a Pensiero e Azione e altre virtù, NdR): la statua colossale venne realizzata con 50 tonnellate di bronzo ottenuto fondendo i cannoni dell’esercito ed è lunga ben 10 metri e alta 12, un metro in più delle quadrighe che svettano sulla cima. All’interno della pancia del cavallo - come documentato da foto dell'epoca - c'era talmente tanto spazio che venne organizzato perfino un rinfresco per venti persone per festeggiare la buona riuscita dei lavori. Per dare una dimensione dell'imponenza della statua del Monarca basti pensare che i suoi baffi sono lunghi 1 metro ciascuno. Vittorio Emanuele II è rappresentato in alta uniforme, in sella a un cavallo che incede con passo solenne ed elegante, ispirandosi alla lunga tradizione di sovrani a cavallo, che a Roma era incarnata al sommo grado dal monumento equestre a Marco Aurelio, ancor oggi in Campidoglio e infatti anche questa statua era in origine dorata anche se si fa fatica a notarlo. Quello che nessuno nota è il basamento della statua che è esso stesso un'altra opera d'arte molto importante. Realizzato da Maccagnani con largo anticipo rispetto alla statua Il basamento è organizzato su due ordini: quello inferiore è decorato con i simboli delle forze armate vittoriose nelle guerre dal 1848 al 1870, ovvero il Genio, la Marina, l’Artiglieria e la Cavalleria, ispirandosi ai rilievi classici della Colonna Traiana, distante solo poche decine di metri. L’ordine superiore accoglie sui lati lunghi due iscrizioni: ad occidente “A VITTORIO EMANUELE PADRE DELLA PATRIA”; a oriente: “PER LEGGE DEL XVI MAGGIO MDCCCLXXVIII”. L’una è la dedica del Vittoriano, la seconda il riferimento è alla legge che ne sancì la costruzione. Tutto intorno alle iscrizioni sono rappresentate le personificazioni delle quattordici città italiane che hanno svolto il ruolo più significativo nella storia della penisola italiana, come figure femminili identificate da attributi che si richiamano alla loro storia. Va ammirato nel suo complesso e girandoci intorno per cogliere i vari dettagli. Utili consigli e informazioni? Lasciate un like alla recensione e guardate le altre...

Equestrian Statue of Victor Emmanuel II is a big bronze statue of King Victor Emmanuel II astride his horse, which is very impressive. He was the first king of a united Italy. This statue is part of a much bigger monument called the Vittoriano, or "Altar of the Fatherland." It's a memorial for both the king and the unification of Italy. We stayed in the Piazza Venezia until dark, completely fascinated by what we saw. As the sun went down, the sheer scale of the monument, coupled with the solemn presence of the guards stationed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, created a truly awe-inspiring experience for us, leaving a lasting impression of Italian history and...

La statue de Victor Emmanuel II est très impressionnante. Elle surplombe la ville et offre une très belle perspective. Le lieu se visite gratuitement et nécessite de gravir quelques escaliers sur lesquels la station assise est interdite. La présence de mouettes est pittoresque.
