Piazza Vittorio

Torino (Italy)

Piazza Vittorio Veneto—more commonly referred to by the people of Turin simply as "Piazza Vittorio"—is one of the most beautiful and significant squares in the Piedmontese capital. It is located in the heart of Turin, along the banks of the Po River.
Spanning over 38,000 square meters, Piazza Vittorio is one of the largest squares in Europe. It frequently serves as a venue for the city’s major events, such as the celebrations for Saint John the Baptist—Turin’s patron saint—which include a spectacular fireworks display.

The square has a long history, dating back to the early 19th century, when it was included in a project to expand the city toward the Po River. For nearly a century, it was named after Victor Emmanuel I (Vittorio Emanuele I). Following the First World War, it was renamed to commemorate the victory at Vittorio Veneto; this particular square was chosen for the honor precisely because the locals already referred to it simply as "Piazza Vittorio."
