Piazza della Vittoria
Genoa, ItalyA monumental square, designed by the architect Piacentini. It was commissioned at the beginning of the 20th century to give a definitive look to the area along the river Bisagno, once the boundary between the 19th century city and the eastern suburbs. Apart from the rationalist Palazzo dell'INPS, which functions as a model for all the other buildings, Piacentini also built the Arch to the Fallen in the centre of the square. The slopes leading up to the fourteenth century Carignano walls were redesigned a few years later; a new stairway, featuring the characteristic lawns and the floral insignia of Columbus' three caravels, was built, which is today a popular meeting spot for young people. During the recent construction of an underground car park beneath the piazza, many parts of the 17th century walls, the "Fronti Basse del Bisagno" (the lower banks of the Biagno) were discovered.
