Piazza Vittorio Veneto (simply called Piazza Vittorio from Turin) is one of the most important squares in Turin , located in the historic center of the city. It is located at the end of via Po , close to the Po river , closing on the Vittorio Emanuele I bridge that connects it to the square of the Church of the Gran Madre di Dio and the district of Borgo Po .
It covers an area of approximately 39.960 m² (360 meters long and 111 meters wide). The idea that it is the largest square in Europe is very widespread, especially among the people of Turin. In reality it is an inaccuracy. The error stems from the fact that Piazza Vittorio Veneto actually holds this record, but only considering the squares with arcades.
The square is notoriously a meeting place and youth gathering, especially since 2006 , when the redevelopment due to the Turin Winter Olympics has transformed the parking lots of the square into pedestrian areas. There are many places that overlook directly, very popular especially during the weekend nights.
The space between via Po, built during the second urban expansion of the seventeenth century , and the river was used for a long time as a parade ground ; in the Napoleonic period the demolition of the city walls opened to the possibility of new expansions and in 1810 the stone rebuilding of the bridge on the river Po, now named after Vittorio Emanuele I , proceeded . The construction of the new bridge involved the demolition of a building used as a warehouse and the church of Saints Marco and Leonardo, built in 1333 and rebuilt in 1740 by the architect Bernardo Vittone , both facing the square.
After 1817 it was decided to enlarge the city towards the river and the construction of a square in axis with via Po and del Borgo Nuovo ; The square, completed in 1825 , designed by the architect Giuseppe Frizzi , was originally named after Vittorio Emanuele I , while the current name was attributed to it after the First World War , when, having to choose a square to dedicate to the victorious battle of Vittorio Veneto , we opted for this, as popularly known as Piazza Vittorio .

TORINO - Piazza Vittorio Veneto
Piazza Vittorio Veneto è la piazza più estesa di Torino, posta nel centro storico della città.
Si estende su un'area di circa 39.960 m² (360 metri di lunghezza e 111 metri di larghezza massimi). È molto diffusa, soprattutto tra i torinesi, l'idea che sia la piazza più grande d'Europa. In realtà si tratta di un'inesattezza. L'errore nasce dal fatto che piazza Vittorio Veneto detiene effettivamente questo record, ma solo considerando le piazze dotate di portici.
