Vittoriale degli italiani, Historical park museum in Gardone Riviera, Italy.

The Vittoriale degli Italiani is an estate with a historical park, museums, and structures along Lake Garda near Gardone Riviera. The grounds cover nine hectares with residential buildings, terraced gardens, monuments, an amphitheater, and military exhibits.

Poet Gabriele D'Annunzio acquired Villa Cargnacco in 1921 and worked with architect Giancarlo Maroni to expand it into a monumental complex. Construction continued until 1938, transforming the property into a personal memorial.

The name derives from Victoria and means victory monument of the Italians. Visitors encounter inscriptions, symbols, and collections throughout the grounds that reflect early 20th-century nationalism.

The complex opens daily, from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM in summer and 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter. A full visit takes about two hours, and sturdy footwear is advisable due to slopes and stairways.

A warship rests on a hillside within the park, surrounded by plants and stone. The red marble amphitheater now serves as a venue for an annual concert festival.
