Place Vittorio Veneto, Central square in Turin, Italy
Piazza Vittorio Veneto is a rectangular square in central Turin with porticoed galleries running along both sides that connect multiple buildings. The space opens toward the Po River and serves as a major gathering point in the city's heart.
The square was created in 1825 under architect Giuseppe Frizzi's design and received its current name after World War I. The renaming honored a major battle fought during that conflict.
The square becomes a social hub in summer months, with cafes and restaurants filling the porticoed spaces where locals gather and linger into the evening hours. This practice shapes how residents experience and use the city's public life.
The square is easy to reach by public transport with tram and bus connections available. The porticoed walkways provide shelter from weather while exploring the area on foot.
During underground parking construction in 2004, workers discovered human remains dating to the siege period of 1706. These findings reveal hidden chapters of violent events that shaped the city's past.
