About this experience
Live a unique experience in the beating heart of Rome, where ancient history, political power and national identity intertwine in one of the most iconic places in the city: Piazza Venezia. The tour starts right from this extraordinary square, a crossroads of modern Rome and stage of events that have deeply marked Italian history. Here the eye is immediately caught by the majesty of the Victorian, also known as the Altar of the Fatherland, a symbolic monument of the Unification of Italy. Discover the deep meaning of this impressive complex: from allegorical sculptures to panoramic terraces, to the chapel of the Unknown Soldier, a solemn and emotional place. The tour continues inside the historic Palazzo Venezia, one of the most important Renaissance buildings in the city. Once a papal residence and Venetian embassy, the palace was also the center of political power in the twentieth century. Relive centuries of history, art and urban transformation.
