The monument of Vittorio Emanuele II

Piazza Vittorio Veneto was, in Giuseppe Poggi’s project, the access point to Cascine Park. In its center, the Vittorio Emanuele II’s equestrian statue stands tall.

Originally, this monument, designed by sculptor Emilio Zocchi in 1890, was installed in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, today called Piazza della Repubblica.

The statue was moved to its current location in 1932.
