Verziere Column, Baroque monument in Largo Augusto, Milan, Italy
The Verziere Column rises from Largo Augusto and is topped with a statue of Christ the Redeemer installed in the 1600s. The monument features typical baroque details with ornamental elements surrounding its shaft.
Construction began in 1580 as a religious monument and underwent several transformations before receiving its final statue. The project reflects Milan's religious evolution across multiple generations.
Plaques at the base list names of Milanese citizens who lost their lives during key uprisings. They serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those connected to the city.
The monument sits in a central location and is easy to reach on foot, with clear directions from nearby streets. The best time to visit is in the morning or early afternoon when crowds are lighter.
Its name comes from the Verziere market, Milan's main produce trading center that operated on this site until the late 1700s. The market has vanished, but its name stayed with the monument.
