Place Vittorio Veneto

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 area was the Roman Porta di Po, the eastern entrance to Augusta Taurinorum, and later a military parade ground called Piazza d'Armi. In 1807, during French occupation, engineer La Ramée Pertinchamp gave the square its fan-shaped layout. It was renamed after the 1918 Battle of Vittorio Veneto, having previously honoured King Victor Emmanuel I.

Torinesi call it simply Piazza Vittorio. Its name commemorates the 1918 Battle of Vittorio Veneto, replacing the earlier Piazza Vittorio Emanuele I, after the Savoy king. The square has long hosted mass events, concerts and demonstrations, with a capacity once estimated at 40,000 to 100,000 people, now limited to about 38,000 for safety.

The square slopes about 7.19 metres from the via Po end down to the Po riverbank, so walking toward the bridge is downhill. Porticoed galleries line via Po and the square's sides, giving cover in rain or sun. The Vittorio Emanuele I bridge at the lower end leads across to Borgo Po and the Gran Madre di Dio.

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.
