00187 Rome, Italy
FROM TERMINI STATION: Take Metro A (direction Anagnina) for one stop (Vittorio Emanuele Metro)
Piazza Vittorio, the largest square in Rome (316 meters x 174), is the heart of the Esquiline, built when the city became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy (1870).
The heart of the neighborhood is Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, a large porticoed square.
The porches, very popular in northern Italy, Rome's Umberto I are new: they have to give an idea of monumentality and, at the same time, the mobility of citizens.
Above the arcades, featuring 280 columns, rise buildings designed to be "awesome" at least 24 meters high, consisting of only three floors, with facades inspired by the architecture of the late Middle Ages.
The apartments are luxurious, many with painted ceilings. From the east side of the square there are three roads (routes Prince Eugene, Earl Green,
Emanuele Filiberto) forming a trident, a tribute to the Renaissance Trident of Piazza del Popolo.
