The Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II) or Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) or "Il Vittoriano" is a monument to honour Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy.

IGNOTO MILITI-The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of Italy after World War I .The body of the unknown soldier was chosen from amongst 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas of Gradisca D' Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I and whose body was never recovered.

The Colosseum or Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus.

Originally capable of seating around 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. It remained in use for nearly 500 years with the last recorded games being held there as late as the 6th century. As well as the traditional gladiatorial games, many other public spectacles were held there, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology.

Although in the 21st century it is in a ruined condition due to damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum has long been seen as an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of modern Rome's most popular tourist attractions and is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.

After the Concordat was signed in 1929 between Mussolini and Pope Pius XI, Via della Conciliazione was created to link up the capital of the Italian State with the Vatican State.To make this street, the ancient Spina di Borgo was detroyed.The destruction carried out to create the new street, an expression of pre-war rationalization, has never ceased to be the cause of controversy.
In any case, it must be said that its creation did solve one problem: the street opened up the view of St. Peter's Dome which had been taken away when Carlo Maderno lengthened the nave of the basilica and covered it up with the façade.
From a distance, in Via della Conciliazione you can see the whole Basilica and dome but it is not until you are actually at the end of the street that the extraordinary St Peter's Square opens in front of you.
This piazza, the basilica and the whole area inside the Leonine walls make up the Vatican City, capital of the world's smallest independent state.
The Vatican has the Pope as its sovereign ruler and has its own administrative bodies and gendarmes. The Swiss Guards, founded in 1527, are responsible for the Pope's protection and guard the access points.

St. Peter's Basilica (Italian San Pietro in Vaticano) is a major basilica in Vatican City, an enclave of Rome. It remains one of the holiest sites in Christendom.

Ancient tradition has it that St. Peter's Basilica was built at the place where Peter, the apostle who is considered the first pope, was crucified and buried; his tomb is under the main altar.
