The Piazza della Vittoria in Genoa is a monumental square, designed by the well-known architect Piacentini. Commissioned at the beginning of the 20th Century it was designed to give a classic look to the area along the River Bisagno. This was once the boundary between the 19th Century city and the eastern suburbs. Besides the rationalist Palazzo dell’INPS, Piacentini also built the Arch to the Fallen in the centre of the square. There are slopes leading to the 14th Century Carignano walls which were redesigned, allowing for lawns and floral displays.
