Via Roma, Shopping street in Turin
Via Roma is a major street in the Italian city of Turin, known for its high fashion boutiques and classic architecture.
The street was redesigned and expanded in the 1930s by the architect Marcello Piacentini to showcase a modernized Italy under Benito Mussolini.
Via Roma runs from Piazza Castello to Piazza Carlo Felice and is divided into three parts, each with its own distinct character and style.
The street is partly pedestrianized and features arcades that shelter visitors from the weather while shopping or strolling.
The pavement of Via Roma was laid in the late 17th century, making it one of the earliest examples of a paved road in Europe.
