The Vittoriano aka The Altar of the
Fatherland built by the first king of Italy Victor Emmanuel II for the 1870 unification of Italy as one nation under one king,
one flag over one population - which was the first time in the
history of Italy her population was the be referred to as one
singular people with one unifying flag and one singular entity
of rulership; the monarchy.
The Italian monarchy did not last very long and after Mussolini's execution in 1942 the italian people were to vote
if they wanted the nation to be a republic or monarchy - and
the republic won. It was also the first time Italian women got
the right to vote.

Near Piazza Venezia, the Theater of Marcellus (in Latin: Theatrum Marcelli) is a theater of ancient Rome, still partially preserved, built at the behest of Augustus in the southern area of the Campo Marzio between the Tiber river and the Campidoglio.
The Theater of Marcellus is an interesting document of the transition period towards the classicism of the late Augustan age, fused with a certain richness in the decoration (as in the Doric frieze on the first order). The sobriety in the structure of the facade made it a reference model for every future Roman theater and amphitheater.

One of Rome's most treasured places: the Sanctuary of the Holy Stairs (Scala Santa), located just across the street from the Basilica of Saint John Lateran. Helena, the Emperor Constantine's mother, made it her personal quest to retrieve as many articles that were
touched by Jesus from the area of Judea. Among the items she had shipped back to Rome were the steps that were in front of the Governor's Palace in Jerusalem and which she assumed were the very steps that Christ climbed when he appeared before Pontius Pilate.

“The Apotheosis of Saint Ignatius" is an extraordinary illusionist fresco of Andrea Pozzo, Jesuit, architect and late-baroque painter, located on the ceiling of the Church of Sant'Ignatius of Loyola in Rome. The fresco, when viewed
from the bottom, offers a prospective simulation of a second temple, superimposed on the first, the real one, in a sinuous movement of columns and arches stretching upward where,
in a golden light, is depicted the glory of St. Ignatius with Christ carrying the Cross. From Christ's side a beam of light
illuminates Ignatius, from which in turn moves toward four allegorical figures around him representing the four
continents then-known.
