Here's where the statue is located:

The monument to Vittorio Emanuele II is a sculptural group located in the center of Piazza del Duomo in Milan. It was solemnly inaugurated on June 24, 1896. The monument was commissioned to the Italian sculptor Ercole Rosa by King Umberto I upon the death of his father Vittorio Emanuele in 1878, but was placed in the center of the square only in 1896 as the sculptor died before completing it.

The Cathedral Square in Milan

The Piazza del Duomo in Milan.
This is the most famous square in the city of Milan. A half day in the city.
Obviously, and to tell the truth I didn't even have one on the site, I photographed the most famous square with the cathedral in the background, the statue of Vittorio Emanuele II and the gallery (also dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II) on the left.
Milan is always a great Milan!

Here's where the town is located:

Founded around 590 BC, perhaps with the name of Medhelan, near a sanctuary by a Celtic tribe belonging to the Insubres group and belonging to the Golasecca culture, it was conquered by the ancient Romans in 222 BC and later renamed Mediolanum by them. Over the centuries it increased its importance until it became the capital of the Western Roman Empire, during which period the Edict of Milan was promulgated, which granted all citizens, therefore also Christians, the freedom to honor their own deities.
