Monumental Rome

We can't go far in Rome without seeing ancient ruins or old churches, monuments and sculptures. Here, from the front of the great white monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, we can see the domes of the 16th-century church of Saint Mary of Loreto and of the 18th-century church of the Most Holy Name of Mary at the Forum of Trajan, with Trajan's Column on the right.

The two sculptures at the entrance to the Vittoriano are called The Thought (Giulio Monteverde) and The Action (Francesco Jerace), left, both fundamental in the Italian unification process, as they are necessary to change the course of history and to transform a society.
