Pantheon.
Il Pantheon conserva le tombe dei due primi re d'Italia, Vittorio Emanuele II e suo figlio Umberto I.
La tomba di Vittorio Emanuele II si trova nella cappella centrale a destra. In realtà la destinazione della salma del re al Pantheon fu oggetto di un'accesa discussione.
In molti, infatti, volevano che fosse inumata nella Basilica di Superga, luogo tradizionale di sepoltura dei Savoia.
La gigantesca placca funeraria, con su l'epigrafe "Vittorio Emanuele II - Padre della Patria" venne fusa dalla fonderia di Alessandro Nelli con il bronzo dei cannoni che erano stati strappati agli austriaci durante le guerre del 1848, del 1849 e del 1859.

The Pantheon preserves the tombs of the two first kings of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II and his son Umberto I.
The tomb of Vittorio Emanuele II is located in the central chapel on the right. In reality, the destination of the king's body to the Pantheon was the subject of a heated discussion.
In fact, many wanted her to be buried in the Basilica of Superga, the traditional burial place of the Savoys.
The gigantic funerary plaque, with the epigraph "Vittorio Emanuele II - Father of the Fatherland" on it, was cast by the Alessandro Nelli foundry with the bronze of the cannons that had been taken from the Austrians during the wars of 1848, 1849 and 1859.
