Equestrian Statue of Victor Emmanuel II, Bronze sculpture in Piazza Venezia, Rome, Italy
The equestrian statue depicts King Victor Emmanuel II on horseback, measuring 12 meters high and 10 meters long at the center of the Vittoriano monument.
The bronze statue, completed in 1906 by sculptors Enrico Chiaradia and Emilio Gallori, commemorates the first king of unified Italy during the Risorgimento period.
The monument represents Italian national identity through its classical design, incorporating traditional equestrian portraiture similar to the Marcus Aurelius statue at Campidoglio.
The statue stands as the central element of the Vittoriano complex, accessible through multiple public transportation options from Piazza Venezia.
The bronze used for casting the statue came from cannons of the Royal Army, and during construction, its hollow interior hosted a lunch for twenty-one people.
