Il Vittoriano is the Italian name for the gigantic white monument in the centre of Rome, built to commemorate Victor Emanuele II, the first king of the unified Italy. Situated in the centre of Rome, its tall, white marble is one of the first buildings to catch the eye of many tourists. The wedding cake, as it has been nicknamed by the Roman people, is ridiculed by locals and art historians alike. Its pompous stature and over the top size makes one wonder how such a building could ever be constructed.
