Piazza Vittorio Veneto di Torino

Square Turin, Italy

Piazza Vittorio Veneto is the largest square in Turin, located in the historic center of the city. It is located at the end of via Po, close to the river Po, closing on the Vittorio Emanuele I bridge which connects it to the square of the Church of the Gran Madre di Dio and with the Borgo Po district. The idea that it is the largest square in Europe is very widespread, especially among the Turinese. This is actually an inaccuracy. The error arises 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 for young people, especially since 2006, when the redevelopment due to the Turin Winter Olympics transformed the parking lots in the square into pedestrian areas. There are many places that overlook it directly, very popular especially during the evenings of the weekends.
